2017 Fiat Auto Trail 2.0L Diesel · CX67 AYB

The 2017 Fiat Auto Trail holds a roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA examination on 25 July 2025 at 35,761 miles recording a pass and no defects. Maintenance trend is stable across the documented lifespan, showing clean passes from 21 August 2023 through to 2025 and a same-day fail-retest event on 1 September 2022 that listed no faults. Odometer data reveals low utilisation for a nine-year-old vehicle, totalling 35,761 miles by the last test, equating to circa 3,973 miles per annum. Test dates step forward at near twelve-month spacing: 27,107 miles on 1 September 2022, 30,899 on 21 August 2023, 32,757 on 13 August 2024, and 35,761 on 25 July 2025. No mileage spikes or lapsed years occur. Such a thin yet fault-free ledger implies the former keeper pursued statutory compliance without neglected consumable wear. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical scrutiny. Structural integrity around chassis rails and subframe should be assessed for corrosion, a common affliction on leisure vehicles subjected to winter layup. The tester raised no advisories on coil springs, brake discs, or suspension bushes, but prolonged standing promotes flat-spotted tyres and degraded rubber components invisible to a passing test. Inspect exhaust emissions hardware and signs of binding calipers for latent age-related stiffening. The duplicated 1 September 2022 records, showing a failure then pass at 27,107 miles with zero defects annotated, signal a probable administrative anomaly rather than mechanical deficiency. Prior ownership demonstrated disciplined annual testing, reflecting routine care over deep mechanical intervention. Commission an independent inspection of drivetrain and habitation joints to corroborate this superficially pristine history.
