2021 Fiat Talento 2.0L Diesel · SN71 GDO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass on 12 December 2025 at 89,816 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where multiple failures regarding tyres and glass integrity were addressed. The absence of any defects in the most recent test suggests that the current owner is responding to safety-critical failures flagged by the DVSA. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per annum. Between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 25,177 miles in just one year. This rapid accumulation is consistent with heavy commercial use or long-distance commuting, which typically accelerates the wear rate on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage vehicles of the same age. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the remaining tyres, as the failure in December 2024 showed both the nearside rear and offside front tyres reaching the legal 1.6mm limit. Given the high annual mileage, a close check of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning is essential. Furthermore, the buyer should inspect the underbody and chassis for signs of corrosion or mechanical fatigue, as high-mileage vans often suffer significant stress on the structural integrity and suspension mounting.
