2018 Fiat 500X 1.6L Petrol · RX68 FPG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward neglected consumable components. The most recent test in July 2025 at 47,045 miles flagged multiple minor advisories related to tyre condition and brake surface corrosion that were absent in the previous year. While the car passed, the transition from a clean sheet to a list of defects suggests that the owner may only be reacting to MOT requirements rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage patterns between 2021 and 2024, with a jump of roughly 8,000 miles recorded between several tests. However, the gap of 5,500 miles between 2024 and 2025 indicates a period of reduced use. This low mileage often correlates with the accelerated degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the recurring perishing and cracking of the tyres noted throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the tyres, as the record shows persistent issues with cracking, perishing, and uneven wear across 2023, 2024, and 2025. These faults suggest the vehicle sits for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out despite low mileage. The pitted and scored rear brake discs identified in the 2025 test indicate that the braking system is prone to surface corrosion from inactivity. The buyer should also verify the operation of the drivers side door handle and check the suspension bushings for signs of cracking, as the low-use pattern often masks age-related material fatigue in rubber-based components.
