2019 Fiat Chausson 2.3L Diesel · FD68 ABK

The most recent MOT, conducted on 27 February 2026 at 13,324 miles, shows a pass with no defects recorded, which confirms the vehicle is currently roadworthy and maintains a clean, stable maintenance record. That same test date also carries a failure entry with no defects listed, a pattern that typically indicates an instantaneous administrative or retest situation rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Across all five inspections spanning three years, no advisory items, corrosion warnings, or component wear have been flagged, which points to a consistently well-maintained example. The mileage profile is very low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,903 miles per year. The recorded jumps between tests are gradual and logical: 7,043 miles in May 2023, 8,518 in February 2024, 11,976 in February 2025, and 13,324 in February 2026. There are no sudden accumulations of miles that would suggest heavy motorway use or extended periods of hard running. That said, low annual mileage carries its own subtle risks, including long spells of standing that can dry out suspension bushes, cause brake discs to corrode, and allow tyres to develop flat spots. The record does not reveal how the vehicle was stored, so this is the main unknown. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults and no structural or mechanical advisories, a buyer's pre-purchase inspection should focus on the natural consequences of light use rather than any known defect. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has sat idle for weeks at a time. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, and inspect the tyre sidewalls and tread for age-related hardening, as low mileage often means tyres are replaced by age rather than wear. A full service history is worth confirming, because a vehicle covering only about 1,900 miles per year can easily miss routine oil and filter changes based on time intervals alone. On the evidence presented, the mechanical outlook is sound, with no signs of neglect or pending expensive repairs.
