2015 Fiat Auto Trail 2.3L Diesel · NK15 AVW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-10 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 28,310 miles. The consistent pass history over the past three tests—including a duplicate entry for 2024-02-20—suggests no recurring mechanical failures or advisory trends that would indicate worsening conditions. However, the absence of any recorded advisories or defects across all tests means the tester did not flag any hidden issues, which could either reflect thorough maintenance or a lack of deeper inspection beyond MOT requirements. The recorded mileage of 28,310 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of just 2,574 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap occurs between the 2023-02-13 test at 21,089 miles and the 2024-02-20 entries, where the mileage remained static at 23,140 miles—a full year with no movement. This suggests prolonged inactivity, which could accelerate wear on tyres, suspension bushes, and fluid-based systems if the vehicle was stored without proper care. The lack of mileage progression between 2023 and 2024 also raises questions about whether the car was regularly driven during that period, potentially leading to neglected fluid changes or minor servicing. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade silently over long periods of inactivity. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the tester did not remark on their condition. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be examined closely, especially given the static period between tests. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and engine oil—should also be verified, as low mileage does not guarantee they have been topped up or replaced according to schedule. The exhaust system and emissions should be visually inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are common failure points in older Fiat models.
