AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2016 FIAT 500X passed its most recent MOT on 2026-03-19 at 62,764 miles with a few advisories. The vehicle's maintenance trend appears to be stable, with recurring issues related to tyre condition and brake components. The nearside front DRL not working, slight damage to both rear tyres, worn and pitted front brake discs, and thinning front brake pads were noted in the latest test. These advisories suggest that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, it requires attention to these components to prevent future failures. The recorded mileage of 62,764 miles over approximately 10 years indicates an average annual mileage of about 6,276 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulations in the provided data, suggesting consistent use. The steady increase in mileage from 50,786 miles in March 2024 to 57,627 miles in March 2025, and then to 62,764 miles in March 2026, aligns with the expected usage pattern. A potential buyer should pay particular attention to the vehicle's tyres and braking system. Recurring advisories and failures related to tyre wear and damage, as well as worn and lipped brake discs, indicate that these components may need more frequent inspection and replacement. The track rod end ball joint dust covers have also been flagged, suggesting that the suspension components may require closer scrutiny. Additionally, the nearside front position lamp and DRL issues, while minor, should be checked to ensure all lighting systems are functioning correctly. Overall, the vehicle shows signs of regular but not perfect maintenance, and a thorough pre-purchase inspection is recommended to address these areas.
