What fails on a Fiat Fiorino at 9 years
All Fiat Fiorino MOTs at 9 years, vans first used 2013–2016 (3,432 MOT tests; DVSA item counts are not split by first-use year). The most common fail items: coil spring broken (8.8 per 100 MOT tests), shock absorbers: has an excessively worn bush (6.0 per 100 MOT tests) and side/position light not working (4.5 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 2014 van
A vehicle first registered in the UK in 2014 was issued a 63 (January–February), 14 (March–August) or 64 (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. 14 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
