2018 Fiat 500X 1.0L Petrol · KX68 KCY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test in June 2025 at 51,059 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn to the legal limit and perished. This follows a pattern of tyre issues dating back to 2024, where inner edges showed cracking, and 2023 when rear tyres were failing. While the car passes its tests, the recurring nature of these faults suggests a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The mileage profile is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle. With 51,059 miles, the car averages approximately 6,382 miles per year, which aligns well with typical light-duty usage. There is a notable gap between July 2021 and July 2022 where the vehicle covered only 5,706 miles, followed by a steady increase of roughly 10,000 miles over the subsequent three years. This gradual accumulation suggests the car has not subjected the drivetrain or suspension components to extreme stress through high-distance motorways travel. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry. The repeated reports of uneven tyre wear and perishing on edges often indicate underlying alignment issues, worn suspension bushes, or shock absorbers that have not been addressed despite the failures. The 2022 advisory also noted that under trays were obscuring components, which may have hindered a clear visual check for fluid leaks or early-stage corrosion on the lower chassis. Given the perished rubber noted in the latest test, the age and condition of all outer rubber seals and bushings should be verified for cracking or deformation.
