AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2021 Fiat 500X passed its most recent MOT on 1 December 2025 at 69,038 miles, leaving it roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The tester raised only minor-to-moderate wear items rather than failures, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a passable standard without repeated test refusals. Recorded mileage sits at 69,038 against an age of roughly five years, equating to about 13,808 miles per year and marking this example as high-use for its class. The history shows 52,294 miles on 15 May 2024, 59,315 on 12 December 2024, then 69,038 by December 2025, a steady annual accumulation of near 8,700 and 9,700 miles across those intervals with no standing gaps. Prior to the 2024 entries the record is sparse, though the two later clean passes and the 2025 advisory-only result suggest consistent if unremarkable upkeep. The December 2025 test flagged worn but not excessive rear brake discs, front pads wearing thin, and slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint. These point to consumable brake wear typical of the mileage and a developing steering linkage issue that warrants monitoring. The May 2024 entry noted both front tyres at 3mm and a perishing nearside rear tyre, faults absent from the 2024 and 2025 passes, so the owner addressed them in turn. A buyer should physically confirm the front brake pad thickness and rear disc condition, check the track rod end for progression of play, and inspect all four tyres for edge wear or sidewall cracking. No structural corrosion, suspension bush failure, or exhaust emission breach appears in the record, so mechanical risk centres on routine wear rather than latent chassis defects.

Our Verdict

This 2021 FIAT 500X offers decent value but requires careful inspection of braking components and tyres. The recent MOT highlights wear items that should be addressed promptly.

Prioritise checking the brake system, particularly the nearside front track rod end and brake discs. Verify that all tyre wear issues from 2024 have been resolved. Request full service history to confirm maintenance of suspension components. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from brake repairs. Negotiate based on the need for immediate brake and tyre work.

The 1.0L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely around 40-50 mpg. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it falls in tax band 'A' with £0 annual road tax. Insurance group is likely average for a small SUV. Brake component replacements could cost £200-£400, while tyre replacements may add £150-£250. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,600.

Focus on the braking system: check for uneven brake pad wear, track rod end play, and brake disc thickness. Inspect tyres for uneven tread wear and sidewall damage. Examine suspension components for excessive wear. Verify that all MOT remedial work has been completed. Check for any signs of brake fluid leaks or compromised steering response.

The vehicle has a mixed MOT history with multiple brake and tyre issues recorded in 2025 and 2024. At 69,038 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 5-year-old vehicle. No aggregate reliability data is available for the 500X model, but the clean 2024 MOT suggests recent maintenance efforts.

No aggregate reliability data available for FIAT 500X models, but brake and tyre maintenance appears to be a recurring focus for this vehicle.
