2011 Fiat Scudo 2.0L Diesel · FL60 THG

The Fiat Scudo presents a concerning roadworthiness status as of the most recent test. On 2 July 2025 at 258,791 miles the vehicle failed the MOT with no defects recorded, an irregular outcome that suggests an administrative or presentational fault at the testing station rather than a clean mechanical pass. Prior to that, the maintenance trend appears stable, with passes recorded annually from July 2022 through July 2024 and no advisories logged at any stage. The recorded mileage sits at 258,791 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 17,253 miles per year, which is high for a light commercial of this age and points to sustained hard use. The gap between the 2022 and 2025 entries shows around 10,955 miles added across three years, a modest annual rate that indicates the van was not worked heavily in its final logged period. Two tests on 13 July 2022 at 247,836 and 247,845 miles, one fail and one pass on the same day, reveal either a retest after a minor correction or a data anomaly, but no defects were cited either time. A buyer should not treat the clean advisory history as proof of sound condition. The 2025 failure with no listed defects demands clarification from the selling garage or DVSA before purchase. Given the mileage, in-person checks must focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, and structural integrity beneath the body for corrosion. High mileage Scudos of this era commonly develop worn drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions issues not always caught in a pass. Inspect the chassis rails and sills closely, and confirm the 2025 test failure reason through the official MOT certificate rather than relying on the stripped record.
