2017 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · NX67 SVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent test in January 2026 with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows significant volatility following a major mechanical failure in early 2025. While the January 2026 pass indicates a minor adjustment to an insecure headlamp, the previous year revealed a cluster of critical mechanical and safety-related failures that suggest the vehicle was only being maintained when forced by an MOT failure, rather than through a preventative service schedule. At 143,460 miles over nine years, this Fiorino averages approximately 16,000 miles annually, which is above the national average for a light commercial vehicle. The data shows a surge in usage between July 2023 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered over 6,300 miles in just eighteen months. This high-intensity usage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The rapid accumulation of mileage correlates with the engine oil leak and emissions failures noted during the 2025 test. A buyer must meticulously inspect the engine for signs of active oil leaks, as the January 2025 failure flagged excessive oil loss at 141,518 miles. The offside steering rack gaiter that previously failed needs to be checked for tears or grease ingress to prevent premature failure of the steering rack. Furthermore, although the parking brake passed after failing in early 2025, the mechanism should be tested for even pull to ensure cables and shoes are still properly adjusted. Given the high mileage and history of emissions issues, a visual inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion is also necessary to ensure the vehicle remains reliable.
