2015 Fiat Fiorino 1.2L Diesel · YW15 FFB

The 2015 Fiat Fiorino currently holds a valid MOT pass dated 25 June 2025 at 29,350 miles, though that same test session also produced a prior failure, indicating a reactive rather than preventative maintenance pattern. The overall trend is mixed. A clear resolution occurred between 2023 and 2025, where front Macpherson strut mount bushes and binding issues present in June 2023 were no longer flagged by mid-2025, suggesting those components were replaced. However, the re-emergence of front wheel bearing play as a failure item in June 2025, after not appearing in the 2024 record, introduces a new mechanical concern. The maintenance trajectory is therefore unstable, swinging between resolved suspension wear and fresh driveline defects. At roughly 2,668 miles per year over eleven years, this is a notably low-mileage vehicle. The 2023 test recorded 21,840 miles and the 2024 test 26,332 miles, representing a 4,492-mile jump in just under a year, followed by only 3,018 additional miles by June 2025. This uneven accumulation pattern suggests a period of heavier use between mid-2023 and mid-2024, then a return to very light running. Low annual mileage can mask deterioration in rubber bushes, seals, and brake components that degrade with age and standing time rather than distance alone. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and wheel bearings. Both front upper Macpherson strut top mounts and bushes were flagged as worn and starting to bind in June 2023, and while these no longer appear as defects, their replacement history should be verified. The June 2025 failure for excessive play in both front wheel bearings is the most pressing concern. Lift each front wheel and check for roughness, notchiness, or axial play. Inspect the inner edges of both front tyres, which have repeatedly worn close to the legal limit and on the edge since at least 2023, indicating possible tracking misalignment or worn suspension geometry components. The light oil misting noted on both front shock absorbers in July 2024 did not recur in 2025, but a close visual check for fresh oil weeping and damping performance remains prudent. Given the vehicle's age and low use, also examine brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, and assess the underside for structural corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points.
