About this model
The Fiat Fiorino is a small commercial vehicle produced by the Italian car manufacturer Fiat since 1977. Its first two generations have been the panel van derivatives of other small models, such as the Fiat 127 and Fiat Uno, while the current third generation was developed jointly with PSA Peugeot Citroën, and is based on the Fiat Small platform.

What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2010 1.4 diesel. 833 of 2,985 tests failed, 28%.
Better than 22% of 2010 cars. The typical one fails 24%, across 955 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Suspension | 59% | 492 |
| Lights and electrics | 43% | 357 |
| Visibility | 25% | 211 |
| Tyres and wheels | 25% | 208 |
| Brakes | 20% | 166 |
| Body and structure | 15% | 125 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- Windscreen washers not working or not providing sufficient fluid to clear the windscreen
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A shock absorber bush excessively worn
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
Where it stands out against its peers
- Visibility: failed more often than 95% of 2010 cars — 25% of its 833 failed tests, where an ordinary 2010 car has 10%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.

2,781 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 100k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
