2016 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · WM66 EYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 98,948 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive rather than proactive. The failure in April 2025, just five days prior to a successful re-test, was due to multiple light bulb failures including the position, reversing, and stop lamps. While these are minor electrical issues, they suggest a lack of basic pre-test inspection by the previous owner. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,900 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with an increase of 7,500 miles recorded between the June 2023 and April 2024 tests, and another 8,000 miles in the following year. This regular interval indicates the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the high mileage marks the threshold for more significant wear items. A buyer should focus inspection on the braking system and tyre condition. The tester flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs in both 2023 and 2024, indicating the components were not replaced despite the repeated advisory. Furthermore, the nearside rear tyre has been flagged for being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear in both 2024 and 2026. This uneven wear specifically suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires professional attention. A physical check of the front suspension and the remaining thickness of the front brake pads is essential before purchase given the vehicle's age and mileage.
