Our Verdict
This 2018 Fiat Ducato offers good value for money but requires careful inspection of tyre condition and wiper systems. The recent MOT pass is encouraging, but past issues suggest potential maintenance risks.
Prioritise checking the current tyre condition and consider replacing all four tyres if they show signs of age or damage. Inspect the windscreen wiper system for proper functionality and replace worn blades. Verify service history for regular maintenance, particularly engine and transmission checks. Negotiate based on the 2025 MOT tyre issues, which may indicate neglect. Be cautious of potential diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance costs common in 2018 diesel vehicles.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.3L Ducato is typically 30-35 mpg, resulting in annual fuel costs of £800-£1,000 for 10,000 miles. Road tax for diesel vehicles registered after 2017 is £155/year. Insurance groups for commercial vans vary, but expect £400-£600/year. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) may cost £200-£300 annually. Estimated total annual running cost: £1,400-£1,900.
Thoroughly check all four tyres for cracks, bulges, or age-related degradation, as previous MOTs highlight this as a recurring issue. Test windscreen wipers for proper contact and replace if necessary. Inspect underbody for rust or corrosion, common in older vans. Check engine oil for contamination (a sign of DPF issues) and review service records for timely maintenance. Verify that the vehicle's 2.3L diesel engine shows no signs of excessive smoke or hesitation.
The vehicle has a low mileage of 13,470 miles for its 8-year age, with a clean 2026 MOT. However, 2025 MOT records show all four tyres were badly perished, and a 2023 MOT failure highlighted ineffective windscreen wipers. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the Ducato, these specific issues indicate potential maintenance needs.
No aggregate MOT data exists for the FIAT DUCATO model, making it difficult to assess general reliability trends. However, this vehicle's specific MOT history highlights tyre and wiper-related issues that may be more common in older diesel vans.
