What the MOT tests show

What we know

2.9 fails per 100 MOT tests at 11 years, against 2.5 for all class 4 vehicles tested at 11 (all test years). That is about average.

Why it matters

A steering fail stops the car passing until it is fixed.

What to check

With the engine running, turn the wheel lock to lock: listen for knocks or groans and feel for play at the straight-ahead position. On the drive the car should not wander.

The Fiat Fiorino is a commercial or van-based vehicle: it is compared with all class 4 vehicles, cars and vans together, so part of any difference can come from how vans are used.
