2021 Fiat 500X 1.3L Petrol · AY21 HCC

The most recent MOT was on 2026-05-15 — just one month ago — and it passed, but with multiple tyre-related defects: nearside front outer tyre slightly damaged, both rear tyres showing cracking or perishing, and the nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly (on the edge). Tyre condition is the dominant recurring issue. There’s a clear worsening trend: a cut on the nearside front tyre in July 2025; a serious failure in May 2024 due to a deep cut on the offside front tyre that reached the ply; and now, in May 2026, four tyres showing active deterioration — two cracked/perished rears, one edge-worn front, and one previously cut front. This isn’t isolated wear — it points to ongoing under-inflation, misalignment, suspension wear, or inconsistent tyre rotation/maintenance. Mileage is 46,988 miles at age five — about 9,400 miles per year — which is broadly typical. However, the recorded mileage jumps are inconsistent: 29,229 miles in June 2024, then 62,837 by July 2025 (a 33,600-mile increase in 13 months), then down to 46,988 in May 2026. That drop is impossible without odometer tampering or data error — so the mileage record is unreliable. Do not rely on it to assess usage intensity or timing of wear. The history is otherwise clean — no suspension, brake, steering, or exhaust defects reported across the four tests — but the tyre pattern is severe enough to overshadow that. No other recurring faults appear, but the tyre issues alone suggest underlying mechanical problems may be developing or masked.
