Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment issues account for 19.2% of MOT failures on the Fiat Fiorino 16v Multijet. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail.

Tyres — 18.3% of failures
Tyres issues account for 18.3% of MOT failures on the Fiat Fiorino 16v Multijet.

Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
