2013 Fiat Auto Trail 2.3L Diesel · AU13 AAE

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 29 May 2026 at 36,183 miles. This result follows a period of consistent passes over the previous three years. Despite a single minor failure in June 2024 for a non-functional horn, the vehicle has subsequently passed without recorded defects, suggesting that the previous owner was responsive to immediate repair requirements when they arose. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 2,783 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and May 2026, the car covered just 3,225 miles, with a mere 652 miles recorded in the year leading up to the latest test. While this low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing can often lead to secondary issues such as the degradation of rubber components, fluid oxidation, or brake caliper seizing due to lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and lack of movement. Check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and ensure the calipers are not binding, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized pistons. Inspect the suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, which occurs regardless of the distance driven. Given the clean MOT history shows no structural advisories, verify the chassis and underbody for any evidence of hidden rust that may have developed during the vehicle's stationary periods.
