2024 Pilote Unknown 2.0L Diesel · F2 MBB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 June 2026 at 39,591 miles. While the vehicle continues to pass, the maintenance trend shows a gradual increase in mechanical advisories over the last years. Since the clean record in 2022, the tester has consistently identified issues with the braking system and suspension components, suggesting that while the vehicle is operational, it is experiencing reactive rather than preventative maintenance. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 39,591 miles represents low annual usage of approximately 4,400 miles per year. This low mileage pattern is evident in the significant gaps of mileage between certain annual tests. For instance, between July 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered only 6,443 miles, indicating periods of extended stationary. Low-mile vehicles often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metalwork due to lack of use, which aligns with the specific corrosion issues noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension, as the lower arm bush was flagged as corroded in 2025. The recurring presence of corroded brake pipes, noted in both 2023 and 2025, indicates a risk of future fluid leaks if these lines are not replaced or properly treated. Additionally, the rear brake discs described as pitted in 2023 need to be checked for current thickness and surface integrity, as low mileage often leads to surface rusting. The windscreen has been a recurring defect in every test since 2023. While it has not obstructed the driver's view, the persistence of these cracks suggests the glass has not been replaced despite multiple warnings. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the underbody for signs of surface structural rust to ensure that the corrosion seen on the brake pipes is not indicative of deeper environmental issues across the chassis.
