1982 FIAT X1/91.5L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean testing results. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 70,555 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. This follows a clean pass in 2023 and 2022, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep despite the vehicle's age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 44-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, short-distance use, with only 2,175 miles covered between July 2024 and August 2025, and 2,183 miles covered in the year prior to that. While this low mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, such long intervals between drives can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components, perished brake lines, and fluid corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as the X1/9 is prone to corrosion that may not always be captured by a standard MOT inspection. Given the low usage, verify the condition of the tyres for cracks and check the suspension bushes for signs of tearing. The single failure in July 2024 was immediately followed by a pass, so investigating the specific nature of that failure is necessary to ensure the repair was permanent and not masking a recurring mechanical issue.
