2016 Fiat 500X 1.4L Petrol · WO66 FJC

The Fiat 500X demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 6 November 2025 at 65,758 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects. The vehicle has avoided major failures since the February 2023 test, where it narrowly failed due to tyre cuts and minor suspension dust cover deterioration—issues that were later rectified and no longer recurred. The February 2025 test also revealed only a minor tyre crack, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained at a basic but consistent level, though no proactive repairs were recorded for the suspension or braking systems beyond the 2023 advisories. The lack of repeated advisories or failures in the past 18 months indicates the owner has addressed immediate concerns, though some wear patterns remain unresolved. Mileage accumulation follows a steady pattern, averaging approximately 6,500 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering 4,150 miles since the November 2025 pass. The 2023 data shows a slight clustering of tests—two within a single day—likely due to the tyre-related failures, but no evidence of neglect or excessive wear beyond expected consumption. The consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has seen regular, moderate use without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could have accelerated corrosion or suspension degradation. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the track rod end ball joints, which were flagged in 2023 for deteriorated dust covers—a condition that, if ignored, can lead to premature wear or failure. The front brake discs, while not seriously weakened in past tests, show pitting and scoring, so inspection for uneven wear or binding calipers is advisable. Tyres remain a concern; the recurring advisories on cracks, cuts, and nail damage imply either basic upkeep or a lack of regular rotation/balancing. Structural integrity should also be checked, especially around the wheel arches and sills, where tyre damage might have caused hidden corrosion. Given the absence of major failures in recent tests, the vehicle appears roadworthy, but these areas warrant thorough examination to confirm no underlying issues have developed since the last MOT.
