Description
20 ROAD TAX!
For sale: 2013 Fiat 500L MPW Lounge 1.3 Multijet Diesel 5/7-Seater
Reliable family car with standard clutch (no dual-mass flywheel). 90% motorway miles under my ownership - perfect for long European trips with zero breakdowns. Current mileage: 139,831.
Selling because I want to upgrade to a Skoda Octavia 2015-2017 1.6 Diesel Estate, so open to part exchange.
Condition:
Oil changed every 6,000 miles with DPF-friendly oil. DPF has never caused issues thanks to high motorway use. Currently set up as practical 5-seater (rear seats removed for huge boot space). Rear seats stored and included.
Car has parking scratches. Water leak from panoramic roof (only when parked flat or downhill).
Honest known issues:
Water leak from panoramic roof seals
Intermittent engine starting (sometimes needs 1-3 attempts, never bothered to trace issue as this never caused me problems).
Minor gearbox oil seep (level stable for years, not dropping anything on ground).
Occasional banging from rear suspension.
