2008 Fiat Fiorino 1.3L Diesel · WF58 ADZ

Overall roadworthiness status is roadworthy despite multiple advisories, as the November 19 2024 test at 88,220 miles recorded a pass with offside rear stop lamp and position lamp issues, central and rear exhaust mounting defects, worn suspension arm pins or bushes, an oil leak, corroded coil springs on both sides and a damaged front Macpherson strut. The maintenance trend is concerning, showing persistent suspension wear and extensive rust that have recurred across several tests rather than improving. Mileage has risen from 46,079 miles in 2016 to 88,220 miles in 2024, a gain of 42,141 miles over 8 years, averaging 5,268 miles per year, but the jump from 70,366 miles in 2023 to 88,220 miles in 2024 represents 17,854 miles in a single year, indicating a period of heavy use or neglect. The 2024 test follows only five months after the November 12 2024 failure, suggesting no meaningful service interval and that previous owners may have addressed some items without tackling the underlying suspension and corrosion faults. A buyer should inspect the suspension components in person, checking the condition of the front and rear suspension arm pins or bushes, the integrity of the coil springs for rust or fracture, the front Macpherson strut for damage, and the rear shock absorber bushes for excessive wear. The exhaust mounting brackets should be examined for structural soundness, as central and rear mounts were recorded as defective, and the oil leak source near the sump must be verified as non‑excessive. Brake condition should be assessed, particularly the rear brakes which were flagged as binding in the 2024 record, and tyre wear patterns should be reviewed given earlier reports of edge wear and wear close to the legal limit. While the latest MOT confirms legal compliance, the recurring suspension wear, extensive coil spring corrosion and structural exhaust defects signal deferred maintenance and potential safety risks. A buyer must verify that any suspension components have been.
