Buying Tips for 2022 Fiat 500X

  • ✓Check for electronic parking brake (EPB) faults; they can be expensive to fix if the calipers seize.
  • ✓On 1.4 MultiAir models, verify the oil service history is impeccable—the MultiAir unit is sensitive to oil quality.
  • ✓Test the DDCT (Dual Clutch) automatic for smooth shifts; it is better than Dualogic but still complex.
  • ✓Inspect the front suspension for knocking—bushes and drop links wear on UK roads.
  • ✓Check the infotainment system for freezes or reboots; software updates may be available from a dealer.
  • ✓Look for evidence of regular oil changes—Fiat's engines are sensitive to extended service intervals.
