2012 Fiat Scudo 2.0L Diesel · DU62 AEP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a clear improving trend in maintenance quality. The most recent inspection on 19 November 2024 at 81,109 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed prior mechanical issues. This represents a positive shift from earlier years where the vehicle failed its tests, suggesting a more proactive approach to repairs as the vehicle has aged. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage, with 1,918 miles covered between November 2022 and November 2023, and another 4,375 miles leading into the most recent test. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods between use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and perished lines, or the surface corrosion of brake discs. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that likely caused the failures in 2022 and 2023. Although the record does not specify the exact mechanical faults for those failures, the proximity of the failures to the passes suggests they were related to consumable items or minor mechanical adjustments. Given the age, inspect the structural integrity specifically around the sills and wheel arches for hidden corrosion, common in Scudo models of this era. Additionally, check the brakes for signs of seized calipers or uneven wear, as low mileage may have left the braking system sitting undisturbed.
