A favorite among small businesses and urban drivers in New Zealand, this van combines practicality with economy, making it an icon on busy streets. Its compact size allows it to navigate tight corners and fit into the tiniest parking spots, ensuring you have the flexibility you need for all your urban adventures.

Rust is a common problem, particularly in areas prone to moisture. Mechanical systems are usually simple, but wear and tear can lead to breakdowns. Suspension also can cause major problems if left alone for too long.
Inspect closely for rust, especially in the floors. Ensure all lights and indicators are working correctly. Check tyres frequently. The brakes should also be checked due to its age.
The Fiat Fiorino typically features a petrol engine, providing sufficient power for city driving while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency. Maintenance is generally straightforward, but it's essential to keep an eye on specific parts to prolong its lifespan. Notably, the cooling system requires attention around every 150,000 km – be sure to check the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses to avoid overheating issues. This underscores the importance of regular maintenance, linking naturally to our comprehensive cooling service packs available for your Fiorino's needs. Additionally, common issues such as rust, particularly in moist areas, can pose a challenge; checking for corrosion, especially in the undercarriage, is crucial.
When it comes to brake maintenance, consider our Front Brake Service or Rear Brake Service, ensuring all essential components like pads and rotors are in top shape. Mechanical systems are usually straightforward, yet wear and tear can cause breakdowns, particularly in the suspension. Regularly inspecting shock absorbers and struts can mitigate these risks. If you're worried about finding parts, rest assured they are largely available – you might just need to do a little searching. For a smoother ride, don’t forget to address air filters and oil changes, which can be easily serviced through our dedicated product categories. With the right care and attention, your Fiat Fiorino can enjoy a long, reliable life.
