2016 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · ET65 WGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 101,380 miles, the failure just one day prior reveals multiple mechanical and safety defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a list of failures in 2025 suggests that the owner is only addressing issues when they become critical during the testing process. At 101,380 miles over ten years, the Fiat 500X averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which aligns perfectly with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and 14,500 miles recorded between October 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation confirms the vehicle has been used regularly, but the high mileage puts significant strain on suspension components and braking systems typical of high-mileage petrol vehicles. A buyer must focus inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the nearside anti-roll bar ball joint was flagged as excessively worn. The 2025 record also notes an offside front tyre worn on the edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that have not been addressed. Furthermore, the front brake discs were noted as worn across two consecutive tests, suggesting they are nearing the end of their functional life and may require immediate replacement alongside the pads. The nearside rear tyre shows signs of perishing and cracking, indicating the rubber is degrading due to age despite potentially having sufficient tread depth. The buyer should also verify the tyre pressure monitoring system, which failed in 2024, to ensure the fault was been properly rectified. Given the recurring issues with bulbs and minor wear, a thorough check of all exterior lighting and rubber bushings is necessary to ensure no hidden faults remain.
