2010 Fiat Tribute 2.3L Diesel · KX59 DVO

The Fiat Tribute presents a broadly roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 11 September 2025, where it passed at 65,651 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available DVSA entries is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults since at least October 2022. The sole anomaly appears on 20 September 2024, when the vehicle failed the test at 61,189 miles yet the record lists no defects; it passed later the same day, indicating a procedural irregularity rather than a worsening condition. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a 16-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 50,934 miles at the 4 October 2022 test to 57,988 miles on 2 October 2023, then to 61,189 miles by 20 September 2024, and reached 65,651 miles by 11 September 2025. Annual averages sit near 4,100 miles, confirming the low yearly figure. The test dates show consistent yearly attendance with no extended gaps, suggesting the previous owners maintained statutory testing discipline even if the car covered limited distance. A clean MOT ledger with zero advisories does not remove the need for a physical inspection of age-sensitive components. The buyer should examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue induced by low-mileage standing periods. The buyer should assess structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions under cold start. The absence of recorded faults implies previous owners met basic upkeep, but the unexplained fail on 20 September 2024 warrants the buyer checking for hidden binding calipers or seized brakes that the same-day pass may have overlooked.
