2020 Fiat 500X 1.0L Petrol · EU70 USE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection reveals a trend of deferred maintenance regarding wear items. While it passed the MOT on 10 October 2025 at 24,311 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to multiple safety defects. The transition from a failure to a pass indicates the owner addressed immediate issues, but the nature of the faults suggests a pattern of performing the minimum work required to pass testing rather than following a proactive service schedule. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a gap of 4,964 miles between the October 2023 test at 14,215 miles and the October 2024 test at 19,179 miles, followed by another 5,132 miles before the most recent test. Low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion due to lack of frequent use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the October 2025 test flagged an offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush that was starting to pull out. Although this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of component fatigue that will soon require replacement. The record also notes thin front brake pads and worn discs during the 2025 test, suggesting the braking system is nearing the end of its functional life and should be measured for remaining thickness immediately. Tyre condition is a recurring concern, with multiple entries for tyres worn to the legal limit or sustaining cuts across 2023 and 2025. The uneven edge wear noted on the front tyres suggests a potential wheel alignment issue that has not been professionally addressed. The buyer should also verify the state of the offside front windscreen, as internal scratches were flagged in the latest report and may eventually interfere with the driver's visibility under glare.
