2014 Fiat Auto Trail 2.3L Diesel · LX64 AUA

This Fiat Auto Trail presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 24,006 miles showing no defects—an outcome consistent across all five recorded examinations dating back to 25 March 2022 . The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has been well maintained in critical areas, including brakes, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity. Such a flawless record is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage, particularly given the typical wear patterns of a 12-year-old model. The tester’s repeated clearance implies no recurring issues with components like coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust leaks, which are often the first signs of neglect. The mileage progression reveals a vehicle that has seen extremely light use , averaging just 2,000 miles per year —well below the UK’s average for a car of this age. Between 2022 (17,515 miles) and 2026 (24,006 miles) , the increase of 6,491 miles over four years suggests either infrequent use, storage periods, or possibly a secondary/leisure vehicle. The lack of rapid mileage accumulation reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, though it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven enough to identify latent issues in less frequently used systems, such as the cooling system or secondary suspension components. Given the pristine MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas not routinely tested—particularly the suspension bushes and coil springs , which may show early signs of degradation even without MOT failures. The brake system , including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, despite no past advisories. Since the vehicle has covered such low mileage, fluid levels (brake, coolant, power steering) and exhaust condition should be verified, as stagnation can accelerate corrosion or seal degradation. The underbody and wheel arches warrant close examination for structural rust, especially if the vehicle has spent time in damp or salty conditions, even with minimal driving. Finally, a compression test or pre-start inspection of the engine bay could confirm no hidden issues in a vehicle that may have sat unused for extended periods.
