2017 Fiat Auto Trail 2.3L Diesel · WA17 BOU

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 7 November 2025 at 19,473 miles showing a clean pass with no defects. This follows two consecutive years of defect-free testing in 2024 and 2023. The history indicates a well-maintained vehicle that has transitioned from a single technical failure in late 2022 to a period of consistent compliance. The recorded mileage of 19,473 over approximately nine years averages roughly 2,164 miles per year. This represents exceptionally low usage for a 2017 vehicle. The data shows the vehicle remained largely stationary between November 2021 and November 2022, where mileage only increased by 87 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, such long periods of inactivity can lead to issues with fluid degradation or tyre flat-spotting. The only recorded failure occurred during the 9 November 2022 test at 13,439 miles, where the tester flagged an inoperative or malfunctioning engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). The immediate pass on the same day suggests a quick rectification, likely involving a bulb replacement or a sensor reset. Because no advisories regarding brake pad thickness, tyre tread, or structural corrosion appeared in the recent 2023, 2024, or 2025 tests, the vehicle appears to have escaped the typical wear patterns seen in higher-mileage examples. A prospective buyer should focus on the effects of low usage rather than mechanical wear. I recommend a physical inspection of the battery health and the condition of all rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish from age despite low mileage. Checking the service history for regular oil changes is also vital to ensure the engine has been protected during these extended periods of minimal use.
