2015 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · WR65 ACF

The latest MOT on 3 October 2025 records a pass at 81,591 miles, after an initial failure on the same day for excessive play in the nearside front track‑rod end ball joint. The tester still flagged front brake pads wearing thin and front tyres close to the legal limit, but the suspension fault was rectified before the retest. Recurring front‑brake pad wear appears each year, while suspension‑joint issues have surfaced intermittently; overall the vehicle’s roadworthiness is acceptable, with the maintenance trend appearing stable rather than deteriorating. Across an 11‑year lifespan the odometer shows 81,591 miles, averaging roughly 7,400 miles per year – a typical usage pattern for a family hatchback. Mileage increments vary, rising from 27,080 miles in September 2018 to 31,610 miles by April 2019, then climbing to 40,901 miles by September 2020 and reaching 64,178 miles by October 2023. No prolonged gaps or unusually rapid accumulations are evident; the record reflects consistent, moderate use with regular annual testing. A prospective buyer should examine the front brake pads for remaining thickness and confirm that the pads have been replaced or are still within safe limits. Inspection of the front tyres is essential, looking for uneven wear, edge damage, or any embedded foreign objects such as the nail noted in 2022. The nearside front track‑rod end and offside anti‑roll bar ball joint should be checked for play or wear, ensuring that the recent repair holds. Finally, a visual survey of all tyres for cracking or perishing, and a brief check for any corrosion on suspension mounting points, will verify that the recurring issues flagged in the MOT history have been properly addressed.
