2007 Fiat Scudo 2.0L Diesel · SJ57 AWW

The most recent MOT on 1 December 2025 recorded a failure at 699,006 miles, indicating the vehicle is not currently road‑worthy. The alternating pattern of passes and failures from December 2023 through December 2025 points to an unstable maintenance trajectory, with no clear improvement in compliance. At 699,006 miles the 2007 FIAT SCUDO has accumulated roughly 36,800 miles per annum, well above typical usage for a vehicle of its age. Mileage rose from 692,331 miles in early December 2023 to 699,006 miles by December 2025, a gain of nearly 7,000 miles in two years, suggesting consistent high‑kilometre operation. The record shows no large gaps, implying the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged idle periods. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, paying particular attention to worn bushes and coil springs that may be stressed by the high mileage. Brake discs and pads deserve close inspection for thickness and any signs of binding, given the repeated MOT failures despite no recorded defects. Tyre tread depth, wheel alignment, and exhaust system integrity also merit visual and tactile checks. Finally, a thorough examination for surface rust on chassis members and under‑body panels will reveal any structural corrosion that could compromise long‑term durability.
