2017 FIAT AUTO TRAIL2.3L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. While the most recent test on 31 July 2025 at 40,952 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, the initial failure on that same day at the same mileage suggests a minor issue was present but then rectified immediately prior to the retest. Since 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record across multiple consecutive annual tests. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,550 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 20,605 miles and August 2024 at 29,193 miles, the car covered only 8,588 miles over two years. The subsequent jump of 11,759 miles between August 2024 and July 2025 indicates a recent usage increase. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber parts and fluid-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to perish despite low-mileage operation. Because the car likely sat for extended periods, check for sidewall cracking, corrosion on brake disc surfaces, and perished suspension bushes. Inspect the exhaust system and control arms for cracking, as these materials can degrade over time rather than through use. The clean record shows no history of structural corrosion or recurring advisories, but verifying the chassis for signs of surface rust remains a standard requirement for a Fiat of this age.
