Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a modern crossover with a clean inspection record. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate with no recorded defects across its recent MOT history.
When inspecting this specific 999cc petrol model, focus on the service history to ensure the small-capacity turbocharged engine has received regular oil changes. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should verify that all electronic components and infotainment systems are functioning correctly, as these are not always captured in standard MOT testing.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 38,265 miles, it has travelled more than the typical 7,277 miles per year seen in the wider Fiat 500X dataset. Check the condition of the tyres and windscreen wipers, as these are statistically common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.
The 999.0cc engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity crossovers. Fuel economy should be competitive for a vehicle of this size, though real-world figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for Fiat models are generally moderate, but you should budget for routine consumables like tyres and brake pads. Estimated annual running costs typically include fuel, tax, insurance, and scheduled servicing.
Given that the aggregate data for the Fiat 500X identifies ball joints, windscreen wipers, and tyres as common MOT failure reasons, these should be your primary physical inspection points. Check the wiper blades for tearing and the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components for any signs of play or wear to preempt potential ball joint issues. Although this specific vehicle has had no defects recorded in its three MOT tests, a thorough check of the underbody for any signs of corrosion or leaks is always recommended.
This 2020 Grey Fiat 500X features a 999cc petrol engine and has covered 38,265 miles as of its last test in October 2025. The MOT history shows three consecutive passes without any recorded defects or failures. Compared to the model average of 7,277 miles per year, this vehicle's mileage is slightly above average for its age.
The Fiat 500X has an average MOT pass rate of 82.6% across the 34,338 vehicles analysed.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: FIAT 500X
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Failure(Moderate)
The rear calipers or the EPB control module can fail, often caused by moisture ingress.
- Electrical glitches and warning-light cascades(Moderate)
The 500X is prone to recurring electrical issues including random warning lights, infotainment freezes, climate-control display dropouts and stop-start system failures. These are often intermittent and hard to replicate at the dealer, making them frustrating to resolve.
- DDCT dual-clutch gearbox shudder(Moderate)
The DDCT (Dual Dry Clutch Transmission) used in some 500X models can develop shudder or hesitation at low speeds, particularly in heavy traffic. Software updates can help, but worn clutch packs eventually need hardware replacement.
