2015 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · WR65 ADU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on July 24, 2026 at 96,217 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as the owner consistently only addresses specific faults immediately following a test failure. While the most recent inspection recorded no defects, the preceding history shows a pattern of failing on avoidable safety items, suggesting that components are replaced only when reaching legal limits rather than through scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the eleven-year age of the vehicle, averaging approximately 8,750 miles per annum. There is a notable three-year gap between July 2021 and August 2024, during which the car covered only 1,368 miles. Since that period, usage has increased significantly, with over 34,000 miles logged in just two years. This recent shift to higher-frequency use often correlates with accelerated wear on wear-and-tear components, such as suspension bushings and tyres, as evidenced by the mechanical failures seen in 2024. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 failure identified excessive wear on both the nearside and offside Macpherson strut top bushes or bearings. Although the vehicle passed since, the dual failure of these components indicates a potential age-related degradation of the rubberwork across the front axle. The 2025 failure for front tyre tread depth below 1.6mm further highlights a history of neglecting basic consumables, necessitating a thorough physical inspection of the current tyres and brake pad thickness to ensure they are not also nearing the end of their service life.
