2007 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · EY07 EWX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear issues. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 72,379 miles passed, it resulted in multiple advisories regarding worn suspension arm pins and rear bushes. This represents a departure from the perfectly clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, indicating that rubber-based suspension components are beginning to degrade due to age despite the low mileage. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,379 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the lack of significant drivetrain wear, but it often accelerates the deterioration of perishables like seals and rubber bushings which dry out when the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. The gap between the August 2024 and June 2025 tests shows only 3,112 miles of travel, confirming the vehicle is used for short, low-frequency tasks rather than high-mileage transit. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the tester flagged wear on both the nearside and offside lower suspension arm bushes. The history also notes a failure in June 2022 due to imbalanced front brakes across an axle, which suggests the braking system may suffer from sticking calipers or corrosion from low use. The advisory for excessive exhaust smoke in the 2025 test warrants a close check of the engine health for carbon buildup or fuel injectors, as these are common in diesel engines that do not reach high operating temperatures regularly.
