2015 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · YN15 WLG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in mechanical oversight. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 47,698 miles, the preceding failure just one month prior reveals significant neglect. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a multi-point failure in 2025 involving emissions, braking, and critical tyre issues suggests that the vehicle is only maintained when necessary to pass legal inspections rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,698 miles averages to approximately 4,336 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain, but the data indicates the vehicle may have sat for long periods. Between July 2024 and September 2025, the car covered only 3,503 miles, yet it failed on excessive smoke emissions and brake imbalance. This pattern of low mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and carbon buildup in the diesel particulate filter system. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the exhaust system and braking components. The 2025 failure flagged visible smoke and an inability to complete emissions tests, which points to potential fuel injector issues or a restricted DPF. The tester also noted the front brakes were imbalanced and barely met requirements, indicating uneven pad wear or sticking sliders. Furthermore, the recurring reports of inner-edge tyre wear in both July 2024 and 2025 suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes and wish arm bearings that require immediate attention. The persistent oil leak noted in the October 2025 test, while described as not excessive, requires monitoring to ensure it does not stem from a failing gasket or seal. Given the history of the oil level being at the absolute minimum during the previous failure, the owner has clearly neglected basic fluid maintenance. The vehicle requires a mechanical health check focusing on the suspension geometry and engine integrity to ensure the low-mileage status has not masked underlying mechanical failures.
