2016 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · BC65 FHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 74,596 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just two days prior at 74,591 miles. This failure identified seriously weakened front brake discs and thin pads, indicating that critical safety components were allowed to the point of failure. The recurring issues suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a legal failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,460 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 32,871 miles in early 2019 to 74,596 miles in early 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of abandonment. However, the low annual mileage relative to the frequency of reports for perishing tyres and perished bump stops suggests the vehicle may sit stationary or be exposed to the elements, causing rubber components to degrade despite low tread wear. A buyer should focus inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the offside front upper shock absorber bush has been flagged as worn in three separate tests since 2023. This persistent defect indicates the component has not been replaced despite multiple advisories. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the rapid transition from pitted discs to seriously weakened discs within a single year suggests accelerated wear or the use of poor-quality replacement parts. Additionally, inspect all tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as the record shows a chronic history of rubber degradation across the vehicle's life.
