2013 Fiat Scudo 2.0L Diesel · FN63 XAX

The 2013 Fiat Scudo presents a stable mechanical condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 June 2025 at 135,488 miles with no defects recorded. This clean pass followed a failure just eight days prior on 5 June 2025 at 135,459 miles, indicating a specific fault was identified and promptly rectified. The maintenance trend remains stable rather than worsening, as the vehicle has consistently returned to a roadworthy standard following its identified issues, though the immediate fail-pass sequence suggests the initial inspection uncovered a significant defect requiring same-week attention. The mileage accumulation pattern reveals a notable shift in usage over the last three years. Between the November 2023 test at 132,696 miles and the July 2024 test at 132,868 miles, the van covered just 172 miles over a seven-and-a-half-month period, indicating prolonged standing or extremely light use. Mileage picked up slightly thereafter, accumulating 2,620 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. While the overall average of roughly 10,422 miles per year aligns with typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, the recent sub-3,000-mile annual rate suggests the van has spent considerable time idle, which can cause its own mechanical issues like brake disc corrosion and tyre flat-spotting. Given the lack of recorded defects but the presence of two failed tests requiring rectification, a buyer should verify exactly what was repaired in June 2025 and July 2024. The recent low-mileage operation warrants a close physical inspection of components prone to seizure or degradation from standing. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or flat-spotting, and assess the suspension bushes for perishing. As a commercial vehicle of this age, thoroughly examine the underbody and load floor for structural corrosion, ensuring the chassis rails and outriggers remain sound.
