2016 Fiat 500X 1.6L Diesel · WT16 KVD

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 115,561 miles resulted in an initial failure due to both front position lamps, which were rectified immediately to allow for a clean pass with no recorded defects. The absence of any advisories across the previous three tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerance levels during official inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 54,538 miles and February 2025 at 94,136 miles, the car covered 40,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The subsequent 21,425 miles recorded between the 2025 and 2026 tests indicate a recent increase in driving frequency. This consistent use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which often helps prevent the mechanical issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage wear items common to the Fiat 500X at the 115,000-mile mark. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the mileage justifies a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of premature wear. Given the high mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads is essential as the MOT record does not measure remaining life on consumables. The recent bulb failure was a minor electrical issue and does not indicate a deeper systemic fault in the lighting system.
