2017 Fiat Talento 1.6L Diesel · WV67 VCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred suspension and brake component replacement. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 93,763 miles passed, it highlighted a persistent misting on the offside front shock absorber and a front tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a failure in September 2023 where the nearside shock absorber exhibited a serious leak, suggesting that the front suspension assembly is experiencing gradual degradation rather than a comprehensive overhaul. The mileage pattern is consistent, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year over the nine-year period. Between September 2022 at 54,638 miles and September 2024 at 84,043 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 30,000 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. This steady accumulation explains the observed wear on consumable items and the frequent advisories regarding thinning brake pads and worn discs recorded throughout the records. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows that thin brake pads and worn discs were flagged in both 2023 and 2024, indicating the braking system is nearing the end of its service interval. Furthermore, the transition from a serious leak in 2023 to a light misting in 2025 suggests the shock absorbers were not replaced and are continuing to fail. Checking the anti-roll bar linkages and suspension bushes is also essential, as these were previously identified as points of wear.
