2015 Fiat 500X 1.4L Petrol · WM15 UMS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 14, 2026 at 69,348 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach where faults are only addressed after an MOT failure. The most recent failure occurred just one day prior due to both front tyres being below the legal 1.6mm limit. While the latest test shows no current defects, the history suggests the previous owner priorit for minimum legal compliance rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 69,348 miles over 11 years, the car has averaged approximately 6,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. The mileage data shows consistent intervals between tests, with 2,965 miles covered between August 2024 and June 2025, and another 4,872 miles leading up to the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals despite the low mileage. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension assembly, given recurring issues with track rod ends. The 2024 test flagged damaged dust covers on the nearside track rod end, which progressed to a total failure in 2025 when both sides became excessively deteriorated. Additionally, the nearside Macpherson strut bush was noted as worn in 2024. You should check for any clunking or play in the steering to ensure these suspension components have not deteriorated further since. The braking system also requires attention following the 2024 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs. While these did not cause a failure, the presence of surface corrosion suggests long periods of inactivity or poor-quality components. Given the recent failure for worn tyres, verify that the remaining tyres are of adequate quality and check the brake pads and rotors for uneven wear.
