What fails on a Fiat Fiorino at 11 years
All Fiat Fiorino MOTs at 11 years, vans first used 2011–2014 (3,632 MOT tests; DVSA item counts are not split by first-use year). The most common fail items: coil spring broken (7.0 per 100 MOT tests), shock absorbers: has an excessively worn bush (5.6 per 100 MOT tests) and side/position light not working (5.0 per 100 MOT tests, a wear item).
Item rates are not compared with all class 4 vehicles here: most of those are cars, and vans wear differently.
Vehicle tax and ULEZ for a 2011 van
A vehicle first registered in the UK in 2011 was issued a 60 (January–February), 11 (March–August) or 61 (September–December) plate, unless it was registered in Northern Ireland (no age identifier) or has since moved to a private plate. An imported one is plated when first registered here, so its plate can be newer than its first-use year. 11 plates
Vans are taxed as light goods vehicles, at the light goods vehicle rate rather than by CO2 band; the tax class on the V5C logbook decides. [2]
For the London ULEZ, a diesel van needs Euro 6 (usually registered from September 2016, from September 2015 for the smallest vans) and a petrol one Euro 4 (usually from 2006 or 2007). The Euro standard decides, not the year alone. [3] ULEZ checker
