2016 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · GM16 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT history. The January 2026 test at 127,979 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, following a similarly clean pass in February 2025 at 114,971 miles. This recent trend suggests that previous mechanical or bodywork issues have been addressed and that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without immediate recurring failures. The mileage accumulation indicates heavy commercial or long-distance use, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year. Between December 2020 and December 2021, the vehicle covered nearly 15,000 miles, and the jump from June 2019 to December 2020 shows a significant increase in usage compared to its earlier years. This high annual mileage puts increased stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems. The consistency of the mileage entries suggests regular, predictable operation rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the bodywork and external fittings, as the October 2023 failure highlighted several issues including an insecure front bumper, a damaged nearside front bumper, and a broken headlamp mounting. While these were resolved for the subsequent pass, the history of bumper damage and wing damage in 2020 suggests the vehicle has sustained minor impacts. Inspecting the integrity of the mounting points for lights and bumpers is advisable to ensure all components are securely fastened. The record also shows a defective parking brake lever in October 2022 and a worn nearside front tyre in December 2021. Although these specific items passed in later tests, the high mileage warrants a thorough check of the braking system, specifically looking for binding calipers or worn discs, and an assessment of the suspension components. Given the heavy usage pattern, checking the condition of the exhaust system and checking for any signs of structural corrosion on the chassis would be prudent before purchase.
