FIAT SCUDO2011 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 169,119 miles where no defects were recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend, as the recurring suspension issues identified in previous years have finally been addressed. While the history shows persistent mechanical wear, the lack of advisories in the most recent test suggests the current owner has proactively attended to the faults that flagged the vehicle during the preceding three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fifteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the records between September 2021 and October 2022, where the mileage dropped from 263,615 miles to 165,686 miles. Assuming this was a clerical entry error on the DVSA database, the subsequent tests show a steady accumulation rate of roughly 1,100 miles annually. This consistent usage suggests regular operation which helps predictable wear patterns on the drivetrain and chassis components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, given the long history of play in the offside track rod end and nearside suspension arm ball joints. These components were flagged for four consecutive years between 2021 and 2024 before being rectified. Verify the offside front drive shaft boot, which was noted as severely deteriorated in 2024, to ensure no grease leakage has begun to damage the joint. Although the fluctuating service brake noted in 2021 has not recurred, a check of the discs for thinning or uneven wear remains advisable given the vehicle's age and mileage.
