2016 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · WN16 NLG

The most recent MOT, dated 22 May 2026, was a pass but flagged a problem with the rear tyres – they are described as “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing”. This is the only defect recorded in the entire five‑year MOT record. Aside from the tyre issue, the earlier tests are clean. The 2022 MOT is the only one that noted wear: both front and rear brake pads were reported as “wearing thin”. No further brake‑related comments appear in the 2023, 2024 or 2025 reports, suggesting the pads were either replaced or the wear was within acceptable limits after that point. Overall the condition trend appears stable. For three consecutive years (2023‑2025) the car passed without any advisories, indicating no emerging mechanical problems during that period. The new tyre cracking is a fresh concern, but it does not indicate a worsening pattern of major component failure; it is a wear item that can develop quickly if the tyres have been neglected or if the vehicle has been driven on worn stock. At ten years old the recorded 87,770 miles works out to about 8,800 miles per year, which is roughly average for a vehicle of this age. This mileage does not, on its own, point to excessive hard use, nor does it prove the car has been sitting idle for long periods.
