2011 Fiat Fiorino 1.3L Diesel · DL60 WFS

The Fiat Fiorino’s MOT history presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 105,455 miles passing without any defects—a positive indicator of recent compliance. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two valid tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet basic DVSA standards, though the 2024-10-28 failure (also at 100,106 miles) is an anomaly worth noting. Since no defects were recorded in any of the tests, there’s no clear evidence of worsening mechanical issues, but the single failure—without explanation—raises a minor red flag about either a last-minute oversight or a component that narrowly missed compliance. The lack of recurring advisories on wear items like tyres, brakes, or suspension components implies the previous owner addressed routine maintenance, though this cannot be confirmed without service records. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation of 7,030 miles per year aligns with typical usage for its age, suggesting it has not been subjected to excessive wear from heavy use or neglect. The gap between the 2022-09-09 test (91,522 miles) and the 2023-10-31 test (95,667 miles) —a span of roughly 13 months —indicates a slight delay in testing, though still within the annual requirement. More concerning is the 2024-10-28 failure , which occurred just one day before the subsequent pass at the same mileage, a rare but documented DVSA quirk where minor issues may resolve between tests. Without further context, it’s impossible to determine if this was a procedural error or a genuine but transient fault. For a buyer, the clean MOT history reduces immediate concerns, but a thorough inspection should prioritise suspension components , particularly control arm bushes and coil springs , given their age and mileage. The rear brakes warrant close attention, as binding calipers or uneven disc wear could explain the 2024 failure if not rectified. Structural corrosion —common in older Fiat models—should be checked under sills, wheel arches, and around the exhaust mounts, as surface rust can hide deeper deterioration. While the MOT record shows no defects, tyre condition, brake fluid age, and fluid leaks (oil, coolant, brake) are critical to verify, as these are not always caught in standard tests. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
