2007 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · FJ07 CEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 79,220 miles, it failed that same day due to poor wiper performance and minor lighting defects. The persistent presence of worn front suspension arm bushes and corroded brake pipes across multiple years indicates that these components are only being addressed or masked when they reach a critical point, rather than replaced on a scheduled basis. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,220 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 4,170 miles per year. The data shows very little movement between tests, with only 136 miles covered between August 2024 and September 2025 tests, and just 853 miles between September 2023 and August 2024. This low usage often leads to rubber components perishing due to age oxidation, which aligns with the deteriorated CV boot and worn suspension bushes noted in the record. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and braking system, as the suspension arm pin bushes have been flagged since at least 2023 without evidence of total replacement. The corroded brake pipes are a significant concern; the tester noted they were greased to hide the corrosion, which can mask the underlying structural degradation of the metal lines. Furthermore, the parking brake failed with less than 50% efficiency in 2024, requiring a thorough check of the cables, shoes, and shoes to ensure the mechanism is not seized or worn from long periods of inactivity.
