2017 Fiat 500X 1.4L Petrol · PE17 XGG

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 May 2026, but this followed a failure just one day prior. The failure was caused by damaged track rod end dust covers and worn nearside and offside rear suspension arm bushes. The mechanical trend appears to be worsening. While the vehicle had no recorded defects during its 2024 and 2025 inspections, the most recent test shows a sudden onset of wear in the steering and suspension components. The mileage is very high for a nine-year-old vehicle. Most significantly, there was an extreme increase of approximately 75,000 miles recorded between May 2025 and May 2026. This level of heavy use is likely the primary driver behind the recent deterioration of consumables and suggests the vehicle has been subjected to exceptionally heavy annual mileage. A buyer should be aware that while the 2023 history noted an oil leak and brake issues, the current priority is the wear on the underside of the car. The rapid increase in mileage means other suspension and drivetrain components may be nearing the end of their service life. When inspecting the car, you should first check the condition of the suspension bushes and track rod ends, and look closely for any signs of oil leaks under the engine.
