2010 FIAT SCUDO1.6L Diesel

The MOT history for this 2010 Fiat Scudo reveals a pattern of significant failures followed by successful passes. In the most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 216,529 miles, the vehicle passed without any recorded defects. This follows a failure in the previous test on 29 July 2024 at 132,312 miles. The jump of over 84,000 miles between those two tests indicates extremely high-intensity usage, which places considerable strain on mechanical components, particularly the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system. The vehicle's mileage is high for a sixteen-year-old van, averaging approximately 13,500 miles per year. The gap between the March 2023 test at 207,271 miles and the June 2025 test at 216,529 miles shows an additional of nearly 10,000 miles over two years. Such rapid accumulation often leads to accelerated wear on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. While the vehicle currently passed its latest inspection, the high mileage suggests that major components may be nearing the end of their service life. The record shows a failure in 2024 that was addressed to secure the 2025 pass. Because the vehicle has covered such vast distances, a buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis corrosion, as these are common failure points for vehicles of this age and usage. The lack of advisories on the latest certificate suggests the tester found no immediate issues, but the high mileage remains the primary risk for unforeseen mechanical failure compared to lower-mileage examples.
