2011 Fiat Fiorino 1.3L Diesel · FP11 ACY

The Fiat Fiorino’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 30 October 2023 at 136,795 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy without any recorded defects. This marks a stable pattern over the past three years, with no recurring advisories or failures since October 2022—despite a brief anomaly in late 2022 where the vehicle was tested twice within six days (19 October at 130,579 miles, then passed on 25 October). The absence of defects in the latest test suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying issues requiring closer inspection. The recorded mileage of 136,795 miles over 15 years indicates average annual usage, aligning with typical light-commercial or occasional personal use. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the rapid accumulation between October 2021 (116,905 miles) and October 2022 (130,655 miles) suggests the vehicle was driven consistently during that period. The lack of pre-MOT servicing records means wear items like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components may have degraded incrementally without intervention. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear axle and steering linkages, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, though not failed, warrant closer scrutiny for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the disc surfaces—especially if the vehicle has seen heavy urban use. Structural integrity is another concern; the chassis rails and subframe should be examined for corrosion, particularly around welds and wheel arches, as this is a common failure point in older Fiat vans. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as catalytic converter failures are not uncommon in this model. While the MOT history shows no major red flags, these areas demand thorough attention.
