2018 Fiat Burstner 2.3L Diesel · WA68 AAV

A generally stable roadworthiness record is punctuated by intermittent failures related to electrical systems and visibility. A clean pass on 20 April 2026 followed a failure for ineffective windscreen wipers, while a failure in March 2023 involved a supplementary restraint system warning lamp and incorrect headlamp aim. Outside of these specific events, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pattern of passing tests without recorded advisories. The recorded mileage of 28,551 miles over approximately eight years represents a low annual average of roughly 3,569 miles. Mechanically, this level of usage typically results in lower wear on the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension bushings compared to higher-mileage counterparts. However, low usage can lead to the degradation of rubber components or seals due to inactivity, although no such defects have been formally noted in the MOT history. Inspection should focus on the electrical and safety systems following the 2023 failure of the supplementary restraint system. Verify that no warning lamps are present on the instrument cluster and that the system is fully operational. The recent failure concerning windscreen wiper effectiveness warrants a close check of the wiper blades for perishability and the wiper motor for consistent speed and pressure across the windscreen. Given the previous failure regarding headlamp aim, ensure the beams are correctly aligned to avoid dazzling other road users. During the test drive, listen for any unusual knocks or rattles from the suspension and feel for any steering irregularities, as these are the primary areas where wear may manifest despite the low mileage. Confirm that the braking system operates smoothly without judder or pulling to one side.
