2017 Fiat Talento score: good reliability

Calculated using only 1 documented fault and its sources: the most serious and frequent faults weigh more. One of this car's engines has no documented faults in the versions it uses, but there aren't enough sources to call it reliable either, so it doesn't count towards the engine score. How it is calculated

1.6 dCi engine in the 2017 Fiat Talento

  • 1.6 dCi for vans (95, 115, 125 and 145 hp, Trafic III/Vivaro B/Talento, 2014-2020)

    95–145 hp · R9M

    It shares its block, turbo and injectors with the car versions of the same period, so similar weak points (turbo, EGR, DPF) are to be expected, although we have found no van-specific reliability reports to confirm it.[2]

    With caution

There are no documented 1.6 dCi faults that affect 2017 cars.
