2016 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · CU16 WHR

The 2016 Fiat Ducato demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT result, recorded on 2026-03-02 at 167,233 miles, which showed no defects. The prior test in 2025-03-07 at 158,534 miles also passed with no issues, though a failed test on 2025-03-03 at 158,528 miles—just four days earlier—did not list any specific defects. This suggests either a procedural error or a temporary technical failure, but the subsequent pass indicates resolution. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident in the recorded data, and the vehicle has maintained compliance without advisories. The mileage of 167,233 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 16,723 miles annually, which is notably high for this age. The gap between the 2023-03-08 test (129,522 miles) and 2024-03-07 (143,253 miles) reflects a 13,731-mile increase in one year, followed by a 14,721-mile jump to 158,534 miles by 2025-03-07. This rapid accumulation implies frequent use, which could accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust systems. The absence of defects in recent tests does not preclude hidden deterioration, particularly in high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The exhaust system and corrosion-prone areas, such as underbody panels, warrant scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and usage. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the high annual mileage and brief failed test suggest vigilance is needed. No structural integrity concerns are flagged, but a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of undetected damage or unresolved issues from the 2025-03-03 failure.
