2016 Fiat Unknown 2.3L Heavy oil · SN16 DFJ

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with six consecutive MOT passes and a total absence of recorded defects or advisories. This trend of clean test results remains stable, as evidenced by the most recent pass on 18 April 2026, indicating that no structural or mechanical failures were identified during the inspection. The recorded mileage of 40,769 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,077 miles per year. A notable gap in the testing history occurred between September 2022 and February 2024, suggesting the vehicle may have been off the road for a period during 2023. Such low annual usage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension linkages, though periods of inactivity can impact the condition of rubber seals and fluids. In the absence of recorded faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the potential effects of low mileage and the period of inactivity noted in the records. During a test drive, pay close attention to the braking system for any signs of binding calipers or pedal judder, and listen for any unusual knocks or creaks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, as rubber components can degrade over time regardless of mileage. A visual check of the underbody and wheel arches is advised to ensure there is no surface corrosion that may have developed during the vehicle's period of standing. Additionally, verify the operation of all electrical components and the condition of the tyres to ensure they remain suitable for road use, as the low annual mileage may mean they are aged despite having significant tread remaining.
