FIAT DUCATO2016 · 2.3L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last two years. The most recent inspection in July 2025 at 71,566 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that previous mechanical issues identified by the tester have been addressed. This transition from recorded faults in 2023 to a clean test sheet suggests the current owner is proactive regarding necessary repairs once a defect is flagged. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,157 miles per annum. Between August 2021 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 31,182 miles, showing a steady usage profile rather than heavy commercial cycles or long periods of stagnation. This consistent annual mileage is generally beneficial for drivetrain and suspension components, though it confirms that age-related wear on rubber bushes and seals is expected despite the low total mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the front drivetrain and the braking system given their documented history. The 2023 failure for a severely deteriorated CV boot following a temporary repair in 2022 indicates the offside front drive assembly is a known point of wear on this vehicle. The tester also noted marginal nearside parking brake efficiency in 2023; while this has passed subsequent tests, a buyer should verify the handbrake pull is effective and check for any binding calipers. Additionally, the uneven tyre wear recorded in 2021 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that should be checked against the current set of tyres.
