2018 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · CP18 WGV

The Fiat Fiorino’s most recent MOT test on 28 August 2025—just over a year ago—confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects recorded at 101,287 miles. This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three cycles, as all tests since July 2022 have passed without advisories or failures. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been kept in serviceable condition, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear in high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain joints. The single failure in July 2023 was an administrative anomaly (likely a duplicate entry) rather than a mechanical concern, reinforcing the pattern of consistent compliance. The recorded mileage of 101,287 miles over eight years equates to approximately 12,661 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. Between July 2022 and August 2025, the car accumulated 52,231 miles in just three years, indicating either frequent use or prolonged periods of active service. The gap between the July 2023 failure and subsequent pass—just 24 hours apart—suggests either a clerical error or a rapid resolution of a minor oversight. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, which could imply the vehicle was either well-maintained or subjected to heavy usage without corresponding servicing. Given the high mileage and consistent pass history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. Corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and subframe areas should also be checked, as structural integrity deteriorates more rapidly under high-mileage conditions. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are unaffected, so visual and functional assessment is essential.
