2016 Fiat 500X 2.0L Diesel · WN66 EKV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 60,978 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following significant reactive repairs. While previous tests highlighted failures in braking and suspension components, the latest clean sheet indicates that the owner has addressed the identified mechanical issues, bringing the car back into a compliant state for the current period. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of 8,453 miles between the June 2024 test and the May 2025 test, followed by another 7,646 miles leading into the May 2026 inspection. This regular usage suggests the car does not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and seals, though it does accelerate the natural wear on consumable items seen in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and the rear braking system. The May 2025 failure at 53,332 miles flagged deteriorated front track rod end dust covers on both sides, indicating a vulnerability to dirt ingress that should be verified for any remaining play in the steering or premature damage to the boots. Furthermore, the history of worn front discs and pads in 2024 and pitted rear discs in 2025 suggests that the braking system is serviced only upon failure. Check the current thickness of the brake pads and look for any uneven scoring on the discs to ensure the recent replacements were performed to a professional standard.
