2012 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · FG62 ACO

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2024-12-19 at 248,601 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past four years, as all tests from 2020 to 2024 at the same mileage yielded passing results. No recurring mechanical or structural issues were flagged, indicating consistent adherence to basic upkeep. However, the absence of newer MOT data beyond December 2024 raises questions about the vehicle’s current condition, as no recent inspections confirm ongoing compliance. The recorded mileage of 248,601 miles for a 14-year-old vehicle equates to an average of 17,757 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage for its age. Notably, all MOT entries from 2020 to 2024 list the same mileage, suggesting either an odometer malfunction or prolonged inactivity. This static mileage contradicts the high annual average, creating ambiguity about the vehicle’s actual usage and wear. Such inconsistencies warrant verification of the odometer’s accuracy and scrutiny of potential hidden damage from extended periods of non-use. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates wear in these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity, including rust on the chassis or body panels, is critical given the mileage and age. Additionally, verifying the functionality of the exhaust system and emissions controls is advisable, as these can degrade over time without regular operation.
