2018 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · PF18 FOU

This vehicle has passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026, although it initially failed on the same day due to a faulty nearside front daytime running lamp. The most significant concern in the history is a recurring pattern of brake pipe corrosion. This was flagged as an advisory in both May 2024 and May 2025, with notes indicating the pipes were corroded and covered in grease or undercoating. While this did not cause a failure, it represents a persistent safety risk that has been present for at least two years. The condition trend for the underbody appears stable but unresolved, as the same issue appeared across two consecutive tests. Interestingly, this advisory does not appear on the most recent May 2026 certificate; you must determine if the pipes were actually replaced or if the issue was simply not noted by the tester. The mileage of 90,632 miles over eight years is typical for a vehicle of this age. This suggests regular use rather than extreme hard wear or long periods of standing, meaning you should expect standard wear on consumables, suspension, and drivetrain components. When inspecting the car in person, your first priority should be a thorough check of the brake pipes. Verify whether the corrosion noted in previous years has been professionally repaired or if the pipes remain degraded and covered in grease.
