2018 Fiat Chausson 2.3L Diesel · KX18 BVL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in June 2025 at 92,704 miles passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where components are only addressed once they reach failure or advisory thresholds, suggesting the owner performs only the minimum work required to pass the annual inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, approximately 11,600 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in data between May 2022 and June 2023, where the vehicle covered over 21,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since the June 2025 test, the car has covered roughly 6,400 miles over the last year. This steady usage rate places expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the recurring issues noted in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as both front suspension arm bushes were flagged for wear in 2022 at 55,479 miles. While these were not mentioned in later tests, the repeated failure of rubber bush components often leads to uneven tyre wear. The history also shows a persistent issue with tyre quality, with multiple advisories for cracking and damage between 2023 and 2024. This suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or was fitted with low-quality rubber that suffers from environmental degradation. The braking system requires attention as the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023 at 76,780 miles. Given the current mileage of over 92,000 miles, the remaining pads and discs should be checked for thickness and uneven thinning. A physical inspection should also look for signs of structural corrosion on the undercarriage, as the record focuses primarily on mechanical wear rather than leaving the structural integrity of the chassis unverified by the data provided.
