2023 Fiat Fiorino 16V Tecnico M-JET II 1.2L Diesel · VX23 KFD

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT test on 13 March 2026, with a single advisory recorded regarding an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. While a pass at this stage is clearly favourable, the advisory should not be overlooked, as it points to a specific wear pattern that may indicate an underlying alignment or suspension geometry issue rather than simple tyre age. The MOT history presented is limited to this single recorded test, which makes it difficult to draw a definitive trend of improvement or deterioration. Nevertheless, the absence of any failed items, dangerous defects, or structural advisories at the current mileage suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a roadworthy standard to date, although further historical evidence such as service records would strengthen this confidence. With only 41,141 miles recorded over approximately three years, this equates to an annual usage of around 13,714 miles per year, which is notably high for a light commercial vehicle of this age. While Fiat Fiorinos are typically used for commercial purposes where higher mileage is expected, this rate of accumulation means that wear-prone consumables such as brake pads and discs, clutch components, drive belts, and suspension bushes will have endured considerably more stress than on a lower-mileage example. The high mileage also implies more frequent servicing of engine oil, diesel fuel filters, and timing or auxiliary belt intervals if those have not already been replaced. Prospective buyers should confirm that the service history reflects intervals appropriate to this level of use, particularly evidence of recent cambelt or timing chain attention on the Multijet diesel engine. Given that the MOT record is largely uneventful apart from the offside front tyre advisory, physical inspection should focus on confirming whether the tyre wear issue has been resolved and whether it has recurred, as an edge-wear pattern commonly suggests tracking misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or a slightly bent component following kerb impact. On a test drive, listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the offside, and pay attention to steering wander or a pull to one side under braking. Check all four tyres not only for tread remaining but also for signs of uneven shoulder wear, and verify that the offside front has indeed been replaced since the advisory was issued. In addition, inspect the wheels for kerb damage and ensure that tracking has been recently carried out. Beyond the advisory item, the vehicle's age and high mileage warrant a broader inspection covering age-related deterioration as well as high-mileage wear points. Examine the sidewalls of all tyres for cracking or perishing consistent with three years of service, confirm the 12 volt battery holds adequate charge especially if the vehicle has done predominantly short urban journeys typical of commercial use, and inspect the brake discs for lipping or corrosion that may suggest binding calipers. Check beneath the vehicle and around the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks from the diesel injector system, power steering, or cooling circuit, and verify the condition and replacement date of the timing belt if applicable to this Multijet engine. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion at the mounting points and flexi joints, confirm the diesel particulate filter has been used regularly on longer runs to avoid regeneration issues, and ensure that the clutch operation feels firm and progressive without slipping or juddering under load.
