2016 Fiat 500X 1.6L Petrol · LT66 XKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance. In the most recent test on October 2025 at 61,086 miles, the car passed with an advisory for the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint exhibiting slight play. This specific issue was previously noted in October 2023 at 48,233 miles, suggesting the component has been monitored without yet being replaced. At 61,086 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,100 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan, which is consistent with typical low-use patterns. The mileage history shows consistent annual testing, with a roughly 5,300 miles covered between the October 2023 and October 2024 inspections. This low mileage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, though it often leaves rubber-basedion components susceptible to degradation due to age rather than wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system and tyres. Records from the October 2024 test at 53,538 miles show a failure due to thin brake pads and worn, pitted discs, which were rectified for the subsequent pass. Furthermore, the vehicle has shown recurring issues with tyre management, with failures for low tread depth and structural cuts in both 2023 and 2024. This indicates that tyres may only be replaced once they reach legal limits or fail during a scheduled test. Additionally, the offside front anti-roll bar linkage requires a physical inspection, as it has remained an adviser for two consecutive years. Given the persistent play in the ball joint, it is likely nearing the end of its functional life. A thorough check of the suspension bushes and joints is recommended to ensure no other lateral wear has developed, as the history highlights a vulnerability in the front-end components.
