Is the Fiat 500X ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 33,981 MOT tests, around 91% of Fiat 500X models still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 0% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 9%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 68% petrol, 32% diesel. Every petrol 500X in the data (2015 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Every diesel 500X in the data (2015 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the 500X
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (68% of 500X models tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (32% of 500X models tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
500X models from 2015 sit on the boundary (9% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Fiat can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Fiat 500X for London: what the MOT data shows
The Fiat 500X models in this data were first registered between 2015 and 2021. 2016 was the most common year, with 13,773 tests (41% of the total), and half were registered in 2016 or later.
Every 500X in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 96% of the time at 18,532 miles on average, and the oldest (2015) passed 74% at 58,513 miles.
On a budget, the oldest diesel 500X models likely to comply are from 2016. 6,018 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 75% of the time and averaged 50,989 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the 500X's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (5.3% of tests); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (2.8%); noise, emissions and leaks: "inoperative or indicates a malfunction" (1.9%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 16.2% of tests.
Overall, 80% of 500X models passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 45,569 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
