2016 Fiat Roller Team 2.3L Diesel · BV16 TZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred minor component replacement. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 56,280 miles passed, it was marred by multiple advisories regarding the braking system and tyres. The tester flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs alongside a nearside rear tyre worn near the legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle remains operational, basic consumable maintenance is now reaching a critical interval. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in records between September 2021 (18,458 miles) and August 2024 (44,179 miles), where the car covered over 25,000 miles in three years. This represents a period of higher usage compared to the earlier years of minimal travel. The overall low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it can also lead to corrosion on exposed components and the degradation of rubber seals due to infrequent use. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to determine if the pitting on the discs is surface level or indicates structural thinning. Given the 2026 advisory, both the pads and discs likely require immediate replacement to ensure effective stopping performance. The worn nearside rear tyre should also be checked for age-related sidewall crazacking, which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. Additionally, checking the chassis for corrosion is vital, as low-mileage cars often reside in environments where salt and moisture accumulate during long periods of standing.
