2018 Fiat Fiorino 1.4L Petrol · LA18 AVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in April 2026 at 107,243 miles saw the vehicle passing only after failing on multiple mechanical and safety items. The presence of a wearing gearbox dog bone bush, a twisted nearside front brake flexible hose, and corroded rear springs suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure, which compromises the long-term reliability of the Fiorino. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage, covering over 107,000 miles in just eight years. There is a significant surge in usage between April 2025 (83,584 miles) and April 2026, where the vehicle clocked nearly 24,000 miles in a single year. This high-rate of mileage accumulation places considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension systems. While the vehicle had clean records in 2022 and 2024, the recent frequency of failures suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase of accelerated wear and tear across multiple components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking geometry. The recurring issue of heavy inner edge wear on tyres noted in 2021, 2023, and 2026 indicates persistent alignment problems or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The corrosion on the rear springs noted in 2026 requires close monitoring to ensure the rust does not progress to structural fractures. Furthermore, the twisted brake hose and the worn gearbox dog bone bush require immediate mechanical verification, as these faults can lead to sudden failure or significant drivetrain vibration if not replaced promptly.
