2016 Fiat 500X 1.4L Petrol · WR16 RZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in April 2026 at 25,651 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline where the car failed its MOT test due to a missing nearside front direction indicator and perishing on both rear tyres. While the immediate faults were rectified for the pass, the recurring nature of tyre-related issues across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses defects upon a test failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,565 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 20,146 miles and the April 2026 test at 25,651 miles, the car covered only 5,505 miles. This low usage frequency explains the consistent degradation of rubber components noted in the records. When a vehicle sits for long periods, the rubber in the tyres dries out, leading to the cracking and perishing despite having sufficient tread depth. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the full set of four tyres, as the history consistently flags perishing and uneven wear across all axles. The 2024 and 2025 advisories regarding the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion and seized calipers, which are common in vehicles that are infrequently driven. The integrity of the rubber seals and suspension-related boots is also vital, as these are prone to dry rot and cracking if the car has been stationary for extended periods.
