2015 FIAT DUCATO2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the braking system components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 36,112 miles passed, the tester flagged both front and rear brake discs as being worn and pitted. This follows a recurring issue noted in March 2025 and March 2024 where the rear discs were specifically identified for pitting. Although the pads remained sufficient, the surface condition of the metallurgy is clearly degrading over time. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old Fiat Ducato, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. There is a significant period of low activity between December 2022 and March 2023, where the vehicle covered only 194 miles. Since then, usage has increased markedly, covering over 16,000 miles in the three years leading to the 2026 test. This pattern of low mileage often contributes to the corrosion pitting seen on the brake discs, as infrequent use fails to generate the heat necessary to clear away surface rust. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to ensure the pitting has not compromised the structural integrity of the discs. The previous report of a coolant leak at the EGR valve in 2024 also requires verification to ensure no persistent thermal damage to the cooling system has occurred. Given the low mileage and the 2.8mm front tyre depth recorded in 2025, the tyres should also be checked for age rot and cracking, as rubber components degrade through time rather than through wear on low-use vehicles.
