2016 Fiat 500X 1.6L Petrol · NL66 VVE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 49 910 miles returned a PASS with no recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The preceding test on 13 August 2024 had failed, citing a child seat obstructing belt inspection, a split offside rear strut gaitor, a damaged offside front tyre, and deteriorated track‑rod end dust covers on both sides. Those faults were evidently rectified, as the subsequent retest on the same day showed a PASS, indicating an improving maintenance trend after a period of neglect. Mileage accumulation has been modest throughout the car’s life. Over roughly ten years the odometer advanced from 22 878 miles in November 2019 to 49 910 miles today, averaging about 5 000 miles per year—a low figure for a 2016 model. The jump from 46 957 miles at the failed test to 49 910 miles at the latest pass represents 2 953 miles in 14 months, still well below the average annual usage. Earlier entries show consistent low‑mileage intervals, with no rapid mileage spikes. A buyer should personally examine the items that have appeared repeatedly in the record. Verify that any fitted rear child seat does not prevent full inspection of the adult belt, check the offside rear strut gaitor for splits or tears, and inspect the offside front tyre for cracks or perishing tread. The track‑rod end dust covers on both nearside and offside should be inspected for damage that could allow dirt ingress, and the exhaust system should be listened for leaks. The offside rear direction‑indicator lens, previously noted as defective, must be tested for full illumination. Tyres, especially the rear ones, should be assessed for wear close to the legal limit, as a worn front tyre was recorded in 2019. Overall, the low‑mileage profile suggests the car has been used lightly, yet the history highlights past issues with suspension components, exhaust integrity, and lighting. The recent clean MOT indicates those problems were addressed, but a thorough pre‑purchase inspection remains advisable to confirm the condition of the flagged subsystems.
