2021 Fiat Talento 2.0L Diesel · CV21 OYN

The 2021 FIAT TALENTO does not hold a current MOT; the most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 115 970 miles failed. The tester flagged a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber (5.3.2(b)) and an insufficient washer‑liquid supply (3.5(a)). After a clean pass at 100 746 miles in June 2025, the condition has regressed, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation is aggressive for a five‑year‑old vehicle. Between May 2024 (76 316 miles) and June 2025 (100 746 miles) the car gained roughly 24 430 miles in just over a year, then added another 15 224 miles to reach the 2026 figure. The record shows a gap of almost 13 months between the 2024 and 2025 tests and a rapid re‑test within days in 2025, suggesting intermittent rather than continuous care. A buyer should inspect the nearside front shock absorber for oil leaks, test suspension travel for harshness, and verify the washer‑fluid reservoir and pump operation. The nearside front tyre was already noted as worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3(e)), so tread depth and edge wear must be checked. The engine management light history should be reviewed for stored codes, and a full under‑body scan for corrosion is advisable. Given the high mileage, a brake‑disc and caliper inspection (checking for binding or uneven wear) is also recommended. Overall, the vehicle’s recent MOT failure and the high annual mileage point to significant wear on suspension and consumables. While the 2025 test showed no defects, the latest failures demonstrate a deteriorating trend. Prospective owners should anticipate possible suspension repairs and verify these systems before purchase.
