2010 FIAT DUCATO2.3L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of electrical instability. The most recent test in August 2025 at 25,942 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical and electronic failures have been addressed. While the vehicle suffered a failure in August 2024 due to an ABS fault and intermittent speedometer operation, the subsequent pass without further advisories suggests the owner took proactive action to rectify these critical safety-related electronic issues. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Ducato, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. The data shows a consistent slow-use pattern, with the vehicle covering only 5,092 miles between the 2020 test and the 2025 test over a five-year span. This extremely low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and fluids, which is evidenced by the recurring issues with tyre perishing and failing wiper wipers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of rubber-based components that have suffered from low usage. The record repeatedly flags perishing tyres between 2017 and 2019, suggesting the rubber may be reaching its limit despite remaining tread depth. Additionally, the previous failure of the suspension ball joint dust cover in 2016 and the parking brake travel issues in 2017 necessitate a thorough check of the suspension bushings, boots, and handbrake mechanism to ensure no new corrosion has developed. Given the age, inspecting the chassis for structural integrity is essential, as low-mileage vehicles often sit for long periods where moisture can settle and lead to hidden rust.
