2014 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · GL63 MDO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 10 June 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test, it failed just seven days prior due to an SRS warning lamp fault and multiple mechanical and tyre issues. The persistence of a minor oil leak and thinning brake components from 2024 through 2026 indicates that the previous owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 134,142 miles, this twelve-year-old Fiat Fiorino has averaged approximately 11,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a small commercial vehicle. The record shows consistent use, with 5,066 miles covered between the April 2024 and May 2025 tests, and another 5,295 miles between May 2025 and June 2026. This steady mileage explains the accelerated wear observed on consumables such as brake pads and tyres, which have frequently appeared across multiple years of advisories. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system and suspension geometry. The June 2026 test flagged pitted and scored brake discs alongside thin pads on both sides, requiring immediate replacement to ensure effective stopping. Furthermore, the worn upper MacPherson strut pins and bushes noted in 2025 should be checked for increased movement, as these suspension components often degrade once they develop initial play. The recurring advisories regarding perished and damaged rear tyres also suggest the vehicle may sit for long periods or use low-quality rubber, increasing the risk of sidewall cracking. The persistent oil leak noted since 2024 requires a physical inspection to determine if it originates from a simple cover gasket or a more significant engine seal failure. Given the SRS warning lamp fault that caused the June 2026 failure, the buyer should also verify that the airbag system has been properly repaired and not bypassed, as this is a critical safety concern. The age and mileage of the vehicle make a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans essential, though no rust was specifically highlighted in the recent advisories.
