1988 Fiat X1/9 1.5L Petrol · F868 CKE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record through its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted on 14 August 2025 passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022, 2023, and 2025, suggesting a consistent level of maintenance in the intervening years. With a recorded mileage of 24,331 miles over 38 years, the vehicle averages only approximately 640 miles per year. This exceptionally low usage pattern suggests the car has been stored or used sparingly rather than being driven daily. The data gap between the July 2021 failure and the October 2022 pass indicates a period of inactivity or intensive repair, but the subsequent clean records in December 2023 and 2025 confirm that any previous issues were rectified and have not returned. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor, as low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from hidden corrosion during long periods of standing. The lack of frequent use can lead to perished rubber components, including suspension bushes, engine hoses, and fuel lines. You must also inspect the brake system for seized calipers or corroded discs, as infrequent use fails to prevent the buildup of oxidation on metal surfaces.
