2012 Fiat Auto Trail 3.0L Diesel · FX62 CHL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted in November 2025 at 18,747 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of clean passes established since 2022. This suggests that the vehicle is currently well-maintained and lacks immediate mechanical or structural failures during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,339 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2021 and May 2022, where the car covered only 382 miles in ten months. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases risks associated with rubber-based components deforming. The 2019 test noted a perishing nearside rear tyre, which is a common symptom of long stationary periods rather than mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age degradation rather than mileage. The 2017 record flagged an engine warning light, and the 2018 test identified an offside front coolant leak. While these appear resolved, the presence of under-tray and engine covers mentioned in those years may obscure early signs of new leaks or surface corrosion on the chassis. Inspect the rubber hoses for cracks and check the brake discs for heavy surface pitting, as low-frequency use often leads to seized calipers and uneven rust.
