2021 Fiat 500x Cross +

CarHunch analysed 100 real MOT records for the 2021 Fiat 500x Cross +. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Fiat 500X Cross + is performing well above the UK average, with a 91% first-time pass rate compared to the national 80%, suggesting these vehicles are holding up reliably in their early years. The 12% dangerous defect rate is modest and shouldn't be a primary concern for most buyers.

At just under 27,000 miles on average, these cars are lightly used for their age, which partly explains the strong test results. With only 0.25 failures per vehicle and 1.8 advisories, issues tend to be minor when they do appear—so when you're evaluating a specific example, focus your pre-purchase inspection on brake wear and suspension components, which are the most common advisory triggers on this model.

What to check before buying a 2021 Fiat 500x Cross +

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
