2013 Fiat Auto Trail 2.2L Diesel · FX13 DNN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 2 April 2026 at 61,684 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of recent deterioration. While the vehicle passed without defects in 2024 and 2025, the March 2026 test revealed a significant cluster of failures. The tester flagged multiple lighting issues, worn and pitted front brake discs, and excessive brake service fluctuations on both sides. The presence of a corroded exhaust box in both the March and April 2026 records indicates a component that is actively degrading. The mileage pattern suggests very light usage for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,745 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, low-speed accumulation of miles, with a notable jump between July 2022 at 57,048 miles and March 2025 at 61,019 miles. This pattern of infrequent use often correlates with the rubber perishing seen in the September 2023 advisory regarding tyre cracking and damage. Such low usage can lead to components like seals and tyres ageing due to time rather than wear. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and the exhaust assembly. The March 2026 failure for fluctuating service brakes suggests potential issues with the braking hydraulics or pad/disc interface that requires verification. The recurring advisory regarding the corroded exhaust box implies that while the vehicle passed in April, the structural integrity of the exhaust system is declining. The history also highlights minor recurring electrical and bulb issues, such as the lamp failures in March 2026 and February 2018. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, including tyres and suspension bushes, as the 2023 record confirms that age-related degradation is already affecting the vehicle's consumables.
