2018 Fiat 500X 1.4L Petrol · KS18 ABK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 23 May 2025 at 11,101 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the results of the previous four annual inspections. This stability suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a good standard and has not suffered significant mechanical or structural failures during its tenure. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,388 miles per year. Between the May 2021 test at 4,482 miles and the May 2025 test at 11,101 miles, the car covered only 6,619 miles over four years. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber seals, oxidisation on brake discs, or the degradation of engine fluids due to inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no advisories or failures, a buyer should focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. A physical inspection must check the tyres for flat spots or sidew cracking resulting from the vehicle standing for long periods. The buyer should verify the brake system for binding and ensure the calipers have not seized, as infrequent use often leads to minor surface corrosion. Additionally, checking the suspension bushes and exhaust system is necessary to ensure the age of the components has not caused dry rot despite the low recorded mileage.
