Used Fiat Cars for Sale in Thirsk, North Yorkshire

Welcome to Motors 247, your trusted independent dealership based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, specialising in high-quality used Fiat cars for sale. Whether you’re looking for a stylish city run-around, an eco-friendly hybrid or an electric model, or simply a reliable used Fiat at an affordable price, we’ve got you covered.

Why Choose a Used Fiat?

The Italian-built brand Fiat has long been celebrated for its flair, practicality and value. Buying a used Fiat car offers several advantages:

• Stylish and compact – Models like the Fiat 500 or Panda are ideal for urban driving, parking easily and standing out.

• Affordable running costs – Many Fiat models deliver excellent fuel economy, low road tax and inexpensive servicing options. For example, one guide shows the Fiat 500’s 0.9 TwinAir engine achieving around 60-70 mpg. 

• Electric & hybrid options – Fiat has embraced electrification. The 500e and other models bring zero-emission or low-emission driving to the used market. 

• Value for money – Because many buyers have moved on to newer brands or bigger vehicles, there are good deals to be found on previously loved Fiats.

• Practical size – Perfect for first-time drivers, city dwellers or anyone who needs a nimble, everyday car.

Here are some of the Fiat models frequently found in our used car inventory:

Fiat 500

• The iconic Fiat 500 remains a favourite for drivers seeking a city-friendly, stylish car. With petrol, mild-hybrid and full-electric variants now available, there’s a 500 to suit many budgets and preferences. 
• Look for: Tight turning circle, retro-style interior, low running costs, urban appeal.
• Good to know: Some older models may require checks on service history, timing belt and clutch wear. 

Fiat Panda

For those needing more space but still wanting compact practicality, the Fiat Panda offers versatility and value. With 4×4 or hybrid options in recent versions, it’s great for mixed urban and rural use.

Fiat 500X

• If you want a crossover style with Fiat personality, the Fiat 500X delivers more space and SUV-inspired styling while retaining manageable dimensions.
• Look for: higher seating position, greater luggage space, comfortable ride.

Other Models

We may also offer used examples of the Fiat Tipo, Fiat 600e, Doblo vans, and other Fiat variants depending on stock. Always check our live used inventory for current availability.

Used Fiat Buying Guide – What to Check

When shopping for a used Fiat car, keeping an eye on the right elements ensures you get the best car for your money. Here are top considerations:

• Service history & mileage – Lower mileage and documented servicing are always beneficial.

• Engine/gearbox condition – Some older Fiat 500 models with the 0.9 TwinAir or the 1.3 MJD diesel engine may need particular attention. 

• Running costs – Tax, insurance, fuel usage: Fiat models often score well here.

• Battery condition (for hybrids/electric) – For a used Fiat 500e or mild-hybrid variant, check battery health and range.

• Parts & servicing availability – Being a mainstream brand in the UK, Fiats are well supported for spares and servicing.

• Warranty or dealer prep – Buying from a dealer who offers inspection, warranty or handover checks adds peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are used Fiat cars reliable, particularly in the North Yorkshire/Thirsk region?
A: Generally yes — Fiat models like the 500, Panda and 500X are well suited to local driving conditions: town, rural roads and short commutes. However, as with all used cars you should check full service history, ensure any known issues have been addressed, and that the vehicle suits your driving pattern. 

Do you take part-exchange or allow trade-ins of my current car?
A: Yes — we welcome trade-ins. Bring in your current vehicle and we will appraise it fairly. Using the part-exchange value towards your chosen used Fiat can simplify your transaction.

Are there local advantages to buying a used Fiat in Thirsk rather than from a larger city dealership?
A: Yes, quite a few:

• You can view and test-drive the vehicle locally — get a feel for it on local roads you might use every day.

• We understand local driving conditions (rural roads, North Yorkshire weather etc) and can advise accordingly.

• After-sales and servicing locally is often more personal and responsive; you’ll have easier access to our workshop and follow-up support.

• Travel costs/time are lower compared with a distant dealership, so you can inspect the car more thoroughly before purchase.

• For older Fiat 500s: clutch problems (especially on higher mileage examples) and issues with the dualogic semi-automatic gearbox. 

• Check door-handles, interior trim, and rear suspension items: some users report early wear or rattles. 

• Ensure full service history, especially cambelt/check intervals on petrol 1.2/1.4 or diesel units. 

• Local condition: In rural Thirsk/North Yorkshire you may get more mixed driving — including B-roads, possibly gravel or farm tracks — so check underneath for stone chips, prior repairs or under-body wear.

What running costs should I expect with a used Fiat, and how suitable are they for local driving?
A: Used Fiats typically have modest running costs — they’re compact, efficient, and often sit in mid-to-low insurance groups (depending on model/spec). For example, the Fiat 500 is praised for low running costs but with the caveat that repair bills can merge if neglected. In the Thirsk area: fuel economy may slightly vary if you’re doing longer rural drives, so it’s worth comparing petrol vs mild-hybrid vs full-electric (if available) to your typical use-case.
