FIAT 500X2020 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 22 May 2026. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the immediate failure recorded on that same day indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The tester initially identified a deep cut in the nearside front tyre reaching the cords and play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after these failures suggests the owner was responsive in performing the necessary repairs to meet legal safety standards. The mileage data presents a significant inconsistency that requires close scrutiny. Between March 2025 at 35,381 miles and February 2026 at 76,910 miles, the vehicle covered 41,529 miles in under eleven months. However, the most recent record in May 2026 shows only 48,870 miles, representing a drop of over 28,000 miles from the previous entry. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error on the DVSA database or a potential odometer issue, as the sudden spike in the previous year would have placed extreme stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should inspect the suspension geometry in person to ensure the anti-roll bar linkage was replaced correctly and that no further play exists. Given the high-mile burst recorded in early 2026, a thorough check for premature wear on brake discs, pads, and shock absorbers is essential. The erratic mileage readings also necessitate a physical verification of the odometer against the service history to confirm the actual usage remaining of the vehicle.
