2021 FIAT DUCATO 35 MULTIJET III2.2L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed the most recent test on October 2025 at 55,325 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior involving multiple critical safety defects. The maintenance trend is concerning, as the vehicle consistently fails to meet standards for braking and electrical components, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced to by the testing process. At 55,325 miles over five years, the Ducato averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, the 13,624 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests show a period of heavy use that accelerated the wear of key components. The transition from worn brake discs in 2024 to significantly worn discs and pads reaching the wear indicators in 2025 indicates that service intervals were neglected until the components reached safety-critical failures. A physical inspection must focus on the braking system and electrical integrity. The record shows a recurring failure for parking brake efficiency, which dropped below 50 percent in 2025, indicating a potential mechanical fault in the cable mechanism or wheel cylinders. The 2025 failure also flagged insecure electrical wiring in contact with sharp edges and an inoperative malfunction indicator light, which suggests underlying electronic faults that could be intermittent. The buyer should also verify the nearside lower body damage to ensure it has not compromised the structural integrity, as this defect was noted in the latest pass.
