2015 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · WR65 ABK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding steering and suspension components. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 63,896 miles passed, it flagged offside front play in the steering rack inner joints. This specific fault was also noted during the October 2024 test at 58,078 miles, indicating that the component was not replaced or rectified despite the previous advisory. At 11 years old, this de-registered Fiat 500X has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, yet the data reveals the vehicle may have suffered from neglect while stationary. Between 2020 and 2021, the car covered only 3,667 miles, during where rubber components and seals often age and degrade regardless of mileage. A buyer must inspect the steering geometry and alignment closely. The recurring reports of inner edge tyre wear on the front and rear across 2022, 2023, and 2024 suggest a persistent wheel misalignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. The play in the steering rack inner joints is a significant mechanical concern that requires immediate verification to ensure precise handling and prevent further tyre destruction. Additionally, the engine oil leak noted in 2021 should be visually inspected to ensure it has not progressed into a more significant failure.
