FIAT DUCATO2016 · 2.3L Diesel

The 2016 Fiat Ducato demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-05-14 at 137,233 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior three tests from 2024-04-26 to 2021-08-03 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2023-01-13 at the same 130,000-mile mark—though with no defects listed—raises questions about potential unresolved concerns. The absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies the vehicle has been addressed adequately, but the gap between 2021 and 2023 tests may indicate periods of neglect or infrequent servicing. The vehicle’s mileage of 137,233 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 13,723 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. This high rate of accumulation accelerates wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Notably, the 2023-01-13 test occurred just 2,792 miles after the 2021-08-03 test, suggesting a rapid increase in mileage that could strain mechanical systems. While the MOT history is otherwise clean, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into underlying issues, particularly in the drivetrain or corrosion-prone areas. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity is less clear from the records, but corrosion risks persist if the vehicle has been exposed to coastal or salty environments. The failed 2023 test, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny to confirm whether minor issues were resolved. Overall, the vehicle appears well-maintained but requires thorough mechanical evaluation to confirm its condition beyond the MOT data.
