2014 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · GL63 MDU

The 2014 Fiat Fiorino presents as a mechanically sound workhorse at present, having achieved a clean pass with zero defects at its most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 at 126,390 miles. The maintenance trend over the last five years is broadly stable and shows a recent improvement, with the last two consecutive passes indicating the owner has kept on top of routine wear items. The only blemish in 2026 was a same-day retest failure for an inoperative engine MIL, a minor dashboard lamp issue that was clearly resolved immediately. There are no recurring structural or mechanical red flags in the record, which is encouraging for a 12-year-old commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is entirely consistent with typical light commercial use. The vehicle covered roughly 6,500 miles between the February 2025 test at 119,872 miles and the January 2026 test at 126,390 miles, which aligns with the lifetime average of approximately 10,500 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. The annual test intervals are reasonably regular, with the only notable gap being the near-12-month jump from January 2024 to January 2026, though the mileage accrued during that period remains proportionate. A buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean recent record. The February 2025 test flagged deteriorated front suspension arm ball joint dust covers, which on a Fiat Fiorino of this age often points to perished rubber bushes and potential play in the lower arms. Have a technician put the vehicle on a ramp and check for cracked wishbone bushes, corroded anti-roll bar links, and any weeping from the shock absorbers. The February 2023 advisory for worn inner edges on both front tyres suggests the tracking or front suspension geometry may have been out of specification at that time. Verify the current tyre wear pattern is even and have the front toe and camber checked, as uneven wear on a light commercial vehicle typically stems from neglected alignment rather than simple tyre quality. Pay close attention to the underside for corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframe mounting points, and rear spring seats, as these are common weak points on high-mileage Fiat commercial vans. With 126,390 miles on the clock, the exhaust system and DPF should be inspected for cracking and excessive soot loading, especially if the vehicle has been used for short urban trips. The engine MIL fault from January 2026 was minor, but a diagnostic scan for stored fault codes is prudent to rule out intermittent sensor issues. Overall, the MOT history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a functional standard rather than a meticulous one, so a pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic remains essential.
