2016 Fiat Auto Trail 2.3L Diesel · MX16 AHD

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 02 May 2025 at 30,020 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the anomalous failure recorded on 28 April 2025 at 30,011 miles warrants scrutiny. Because the failure listed no specific defects in the record, it likely indicates an administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the subsequent successful retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between the July 2023 test at 30,001 miles and the 2025 tests, with only 19 miles recorded over those two years. This suggests the car sat for long periods or was used sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to rubber-based components perishing or brake surfaces corroding due to lack of regular use. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as the calipers may seize if the vehicle was infrequently driven. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, which occurs regardless of tread depth. Additionally, verify the age-code on the tyres, as low-mile cars often retain old rubber that has lost structural integrity despite having deep tread.
