2020 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · BA55 RYD

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 12 March 2026, although the presence of multiple advisories suggests a maintenance trend that is beginning to decline. While the vehicle has a consistent history of passing, the transition from minor cosmetic issues to multiple tyre defects and electrical faults indicates that consumables are reaching the end of their service life and are not being replaced preemptively. With a recorded mileage of 39,977 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,663 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a light commercial vehicle of this age, suggesting that the drivetrain, clutch, and suspension components have not been subjected to excessive wear. However, this moderate mileage means that time-based degradation is now as significant a factor as wear-based degradation, particularly regarding rubber components and fluid integrity. A primary concern for the buyer is the condition of the tyres. The offside front tyre has a recurring advisory for edge wear dating back to 2023, which strongly suggests a tracking or wheel alignment issue that may lead to premature tyre failure if not corrected. Furthermore, the rear tyres on both axles are noted as cracking or perishing. During a physical inspection, examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracks and check the tread depth across the full width of the tyre. On a test drive, listen for abnormal road noise or vibrations that could indicate uneven wear or structural tyre failure. Attention should also be paid to the electrical system and general chassis health. The previous failure of a rear fog lamp and reports of insecure wiring on the nearside rear indicate a need to verify the integrity of all external lighting and any auxiliary wiring looms. Given the vehicle's age, the buyer should inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or binding calipers, verify the health of the 12V battery, and ensure that the service history confirms calendar-based oil and filter changes regardless of the moderate mileage. Check the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and suspension mounting points.
