2014 Fiat Pilote 2.3L Diesel · FX14 BYC

The Fiat Pilote holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the 28 April 2025 test at 25,065 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Historical entries from 2022 through 2024 each show clean passes at incrementing mileages. A curious entry on 23 February 2022 lists a fail at 21,616 miles immediately followed by a pass at 21,617 miles, both with no defects noted, pointing to an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical deficiency. The odometer reflects exceptionally low use for a 2014 model evaluated in mid 2026. Distance travelled moved from 21,617 miles in February 2022 to 22,875 by 6 February 2023, then 24,264 on 24 January 2024, and 25,065 on 28 April 2025. Yearly gains stay below 1,400 miles and the final gap spans fifteen months with only 801 added. Such a sparse, clean record signals gentle running and likely extended stationary intervals. A prospective buyer must still verify components prone to deterioration from inactivity rather than mileage. The inspector should scrutinise suspension bushes for perishing, check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after standing, and assess subframe and exhaust hanger integrity for rust. Tyre sidewalls may show cracking despite legal tread, given the original fitment could predate the low mileage. The lack of any advisories across five examinations suggests prior keepers maintained the vehicle to test standard or used it sparingly. A pre purchase evaluation of coolant, brake fluid, battery condition and tyre manufacture dates will confirm the MOT snapshot matches physical reality.
