2013 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · FN62 AVK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 76,957 miles passed, it flagged a low handbrake performance and a failing nearside front tyre with structural cracking and edge wear. This follows a pattern seen in 2023 and 2024 where front tyres were consistently noted for being near the legal limit, suggesting the owner only replaces components upon failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,957 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. The history shows consistent usage over time, for example a 7,300-mile gap between February 2022 and May 2023. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber-based components, as vehicles sitting for long periods can lead to material embrittlement and dry rot. This is evidenced by the perished inner sidewall of the tyre noted in the 2025 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the nearside coil spring fractured during the 2023 test. The recurring handbrake performance issues require a physical check to ensure the mechanism is not corroded or seized due to low-frequency use. Additionally, the power steering pipe seepage noted in 2020 should be monitored for active leaks, as such faults often worsen over time if ignored. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion is also essential, despite no structural defects being recorded in the recent history.
