2017 Fiat Auto Trail 2.3L Diesel · FT17 CVF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The June 2026 test at 15,787 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous issues have been addressed. This follows a successful test in August 2024 at 11,678 miles, showing a positive trend in maintaining the vehicle's compliance following a period of minor advisories. The mileage pattern confirms exceptionally low usage for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 1,754 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, accumulation of distance, rising from 5,338 miles in August 2020 to 15,787 miles in June 2026. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests and the low annual distance suggest the vehicle spends significant time stationary. The May 2024 test at 11,141 miles highlighted several areas of concern that required attention. The tester flagged a binding nearside front service brake and noted that all four tyres were slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. These findings are typical for vehicles that undergo long periods of inactivity, as rubber components like tyres and brake seals can degrade due to age and lack of movement rather than physical wear. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth to ensure the perishing noted in 2024 has been fully rectified with fresh rubber. It is also prudent to verify that the nearside front brake is operating freely and that the braking system shows no signs of corrosion or seized calipers. Given the low usage, checking the condition of all rubber bushes and fluid levels is advisable to mitigate the effects of long-term standing.
