2020 Fiat Ducato 35 Maxi Multijet II 2.3L Diesel · BD70 CZJ

A history of recurring oil leaks and significant electronic faults defines the early record of this vehicle, though the trajectory has improved with a clean pass on 2026-09-23. Previous inspections in 2023 and 2024 consistently flagged an oil leak described as not excessive, while a failure in November 2023 highlighted major issues with the supplementary restraint system warning lamp and an inoperative engine management light. The absence of defects in the two most recent tests suggests these specific issues have been addressed or have stabilised. The recorded mileage of 78,529 miles represents a high annual accumulation rate of approximately 13,088 miles per year for a six-year-old vehicle. This level of usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. Such a profile indicates the vehicle has likely been used for consistent commercial or long-distance haulage, increasing the likelihood of fatigue in heavy-duty components. Attention should be directed toward the engine bay and underbody to verify the current status of the previously noted oil leak. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor the dashboard for any intermittent illumination of the engine management or SRS warning lamps, given the major failures recorded in 2023. Any hesitation in acceleration or irregular idling should be scrutinized to ensure the engine management system is functioning correctly. Given the high mileage and the nature of the Ducato chassis, a physical inspection of the suspension linkages and brake wear is advisable. Listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn suspension bushes or ball joints. Additionally, check for any pedal judder or pulling under braking to ensure the calipers and discs have not suffered premature wear due to the vehicle's high usage rate.
