2015 Fiat 500X 1.6L Petrol · CE65 LLK

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state, exhibiting a worsening trend in mechanical neglect. The most recent test on 4 June 2026 at 119,621 miles resulted in a failure due to a major exhaust leak at the flexi-section and significant wear on both front tyres. This follows a progression from a minor leak noted in 2025, indicating that the previous owner consistently deferred addressing exhaust issues until they reached a critical point of failure. At 119,621 miles, this 11-year-old Fiat has averaged approximately 10,875 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK annual usage patterns. However, the data shows a rapid accumulation of 20,187 miles between May 2024 (99,434 miles) and June 2026 (119,621 miles). This high rate of use has clearly placed significant stress on the rubber components and suspension geometry, which is evidenced by the recurring failures across multiple different suspension assemblies. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, as the record shows a persistent pattern of debonded and worn bushes. The tester flagged issues with the nearside and offside rear trailing arm bushes in 2024, followed by failures on both front lower arm rear bushes in 2026. The deterioration of track rod end boots and anti-roll bar linkages noted in 2025 further suggests the entire front-end suspension is nearing the end of its service life. The exhaust system also requires immediate attention as the flexi-section has degraded from a minor leak to a major failure over the last twelve months.
