2021 Fiat 500X 1.0L Petrol · CE21 VBT

This 2021 Fiat 500X presents a mixed picture, with a recent spike in mileage causing significant wear on consumable parts. While the vehicle passed its most recent MOT in July 2025, the history reveals a clear worsening trend in condition over the last twelve months. The MOT history shows a completely clean pass in July 2024 at 37,796 miles. However, by the July 2025 test, the mileage had jumped to 55,629 miles. This represents nearly 18,000 miles covered in a single year, which is much higher than the vehicle's average annual usage. This high annual mileage likely caused the failure recorded on the same day in July 2025. The tester flagged front brake pads as dangerously low, measuring less than 1.5 mm thick, along with worn front discs. While these items were presumably repaired to secure the pass, the rear tyres remain a specific risk pattern to watch. Both rear tyres were flagged; one was worn close to the legal limit on the edge, and the other showed cracking or perishing. Although the overall mileage is roughly typical for a five-year-old car, the intense recent use suggests the suspension and drivetrain have been under more stress recently than the earlier years would indicate.
