2011 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · FL11 VGK

The vehicle currently holds roadworthy status following a clean pass in August 2025 at 86,937 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows recent instability characterized by a significant failure just five months prior. In the March 2025 test at 86,319 miles, the vehicle failed for critical reasons including a damaged engine mounting and structural corrosion on the offside front sill. While the subsequent pass indicates these faults were addressed, the history suggests a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 86,937 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. This pattern suggests the van has seen light use or sat for extended periods. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the vehicle covered only 3,381 miles, indicating a drop in usage frequency. Low mileage on a heavy commercial vehicle often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components such as bushes, seals, and mounts, which aligns with the engine mounting failure observed in the recent record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front area to ensure the corrosion noted in 2025 has been professionally treated and not merely masked. The structural integrity of the sill is a primary concern, as rust in this area tends to return. Given the parking brake failure in early 2023, the braking system should be tested for seized calipers or uneven pad wear, which are common in vehicles that are used infrequently. Additionally, verify the engine mounts for any signs of cracking or excessive movement to ensure the previous repair was durable.
