2013 FIAT UNKNOWN3.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on June 5 2026 at 47,436 miles which recorded no defects whatsoever. This follows a period of clean passes since a minor tyre issue in May 2025. While the history shows intermittent electrical and consumable faults, the lack of recurring structural or mechanical failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard throughout its life. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,650 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between late 2019 and 2021, where the car covered only 1,000 miles over nearly two years. This low-frequency usage suggests the car was used for short trips or may have sat for extended periods without significant movement. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, it often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and brake components due to lack of thermal cycling. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage storage. The record shows recurring issues with tyres reaching the legal limit, specifically in 2017, 2018, and 2025, indicating the buyer should check for sidewall rot or flat spots on the current set. The 2017 failure regarding an ABS fault and SRS warning lamp indicates previous electronic complexities that should be verified to ensure no lingering fault codes remain in the dashboard. Given the age and low mileage, also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking, as these parts often perish through age even when they are rarely driven.
