2015 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · WP65 BZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 2025-11-26, which it passed with minor advisories. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of recurring issues, particularly with rear lighting components and brake disc condition. The failure in the previous test just one day earlier—on 2025-11-25—was due to multiple non-functioning lamps and deteriorating registration plates, suggesting inconsistent attention to basic vehicle safety and compliance. While the brake discs were deemed acceptable at the time, their pitting and corrosion indicate ongoing wear that may require monitoring or replacement soon. The mileage progression shows a steady increase over the vehicle’s lifespan, with the most recent test occurring at 106,736 miles. The gap between the 2024-02-03 and 2025-01-25 tests reflects a typical annual mileage of around 15,000 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle’s age and usage expectations. There are no signs of unusually rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of inactivity, suggesting regular use. However, the fact that the same issues—such as deteriorating registration plates and brake disc wear—have appeared in multiple tests indicates that underlying maintenance may have been deferred. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear lighting system, including all position, direction, and fog lamps, as these have failed twice in succession. The front suspension should also be examined closely, particularly the offside front shock absorber, which has shown oil leakage in two consecutive tests. Brake components, especially the rear discs, warrant close attention due to their pitting and corrosion, which may compromise braking performance over time. Additionally, the front tyres should be checked for wear and cracking, as these were flagged in the 2024 test and could pose a safety risk if not addressed.
