2006 Fiat Ducato Motorhome Swift 645 KON Tiki 2.8L Diesel · SKZ 7106

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to deferred preventative care. The most recent test in April 2025 at 52,358 miles passed without failures, yet the tester flagged perishing rubber on all four tyres. This follows a period of instability in early 2023 where the vehicle failed twice due to mechanical and fluid issues. While the immediate mechanical faults appear resolved, the recurring mention of rubber degradation suggests that components are failing from age rather than mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorhome, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year to reach a total of 52,358 miles. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the vehicle covered only 1,378 miles. This low usage explains the significant perishing of the tyres noted in 2024 and 2025, as rubber degrades and cracks when a vehicle sits for long periods. The low mileage also often leads to seals drying out, likely contributing to the lingering oil leak identified in 2023. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the offside front drive shaft to ensure the constant velocity boot was replaced correctly following the 2023 failures. The persistent oil leak noted at 50,980 miles requires a close inspection to determine if it is a minor seep or a failing gasket. Given that the underbody is heavily undersealed, a physical probe is necessary to check for hidden structural corrosion that the underseal may be masking. Furthermore, all four tyres should be checked for deep sidewall cracking, as the record indicates they are nearing the end of their structural life despite having remaining tread.
