2019 Fiat 500X 1.0L Petrol · LM02 REV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 30,203 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of major mechanical failures, though a recurring pattern of tyre deterioration has emerged. While the car has passed without major structural or mechanical defects, the repeated flagging of perishing and cracking indicates a consistent issue with age-related degradation rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in usage between June 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in just eleven months. However, the recorded mileage of 30,203 in July 2025 shows a sharp drop in usage compared to the previous 39,353 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which often explains the premature failure of rubber-based components noted in the test results. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the tester specifically flagged cracking and perishing on the offside front and rear tyres in both 2024 and 2025, and the nearside front tyre in 2023. These faults suggest the rubber compound is drying out due to age and lack of use rather than mileage. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or pitting, as these components often seize when vehicles are not driven regularly. Checking the suspension bushes for similar cracking is also advisable, as these parts can suffer from oxidation over time regardless of low mileage.
