2017 FIAT AUTO TRAIL2.3L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-10 at 23,818 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-02-06 (16,389 miles) and 2023-01-17 (11,517 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the 2025-02-07 test shows conflicting outcomes—both PASS and FAILED entries for the same mileage, which may reflect administrative errors. Despite this, the absence of recorded defects in the last three tests implies no critical mechanical failures in the past three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 23,818 miles over nine years equates to approximately 2,646 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged storage, which may accelerate corrosion in underbody components or degrade rubber seals. Notable gaps in the MOT history, such as the 19,626-mile test in 2025, lack defect details, limiting insight into potential issues. The steady mileage progression from 11,517 to 23,818 miles suggests regular but minimal use, reducing wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads but not eliminating risks associated with inactivity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage may mask wear from static periods. The exhaust system and brake discs should be checked for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was stored for extended durations. Structural integrity, including rust on the chassis or body panels, warrants scrutiny, as infrequent use can exacerbate environmental damage. While the MOT record shows no immediate concerns, the sparse defect data and low mileage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and structural condition.
