Most 2021 Fiorinos use Fiat's small 1.3-litre Multijet diesel with a 5-speed manual — economical and tuned for light commercial use but sensitive to lots of short, stop-start jobs because of the DPF/EGR system. The Fiorino is a compact L1-style panel van with a modest payload (roughly 600–700 kg depending on spec) and a load volume around 2–2.5 m3; it commonly has a sliding side door and twin rear doors. Remember commercial insurance is handled differently in Ireland and check which body/configuration (glazed or panel) this particular example is fitted with.

• DPF and EGR condition — look for frequent regeneration events, soot build-up or warning lights if the van was used on short urban runs
• Clutch and gearbox feel under load — heavy or slow engagement, slipping or crunching indicates wear from tough use
• Cargo area floor and underside for corrosion or patch repairs, especially under any floor liners or under-tray
• Signs of overload: sagging rear suspension, worn shock absorbers or uneven tyre wear
• Turbo shaft play or oil leaks and any blue/black smoke on start-up (turbo/tight oil seals are common wear items on small diesels)
