2020 Fiat Auto-Trail Imala 736 G 2.3L Diesel · FN20 XTM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 24 March 2026, following a brief failure on 19 March 2026 due to a defective offside rear upper outline marker lamp. This failure was purely electrical and superficial in nature, and its immediate rectification indicates a proactive approach to compliance. Overall, the MOT history is exceptionally stable, with no recorded mechanical defects or advisories over the last four years, suggesting a vehicle that has been well-maintained and kept in a roadworthy condition. The recorded mileage of 15,447 miles over approximately six years is significantly lower than average, averaging roughly 2,574 miles per year. While this indicates minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain, such low usage often implies long periods of standing. In a motorhome of this specification, low mileage can be more concerning than high mileage, as it shifts the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear to degradation caused by inactivity and environmental exposure. Given the clean MOT record and low usage, the buyer should focus on age-related degradation rather than mechanical failure. It is critical to inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can lose their structural integrity over time even if the tread depth remains legal. During the test drive, pay close attention to the braking system for any signs of binding calipers or a shuddering sensation, which can occur when brake discs develop surface corrosion or deposits from prolonged standing. Further attention should be paid to the vehicle's fluid health and electrical systems. Ensure the service history confirms that engine oil and coolant have been changed based on calendar intervals rather than mileage, as fluids degrade chemically over time. The 12V starter battery and the leisure battery should be tested for voltage stability and cranking power. Finally, inspect the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of dryness or splitting, as these components can perish when not regularly flexed through normal road use.
