2011 Fiat Scudo 1.6L Diesel · FP61 FXB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 158,911 miles passed despite advisories for corroded central exhaust mount and a damaged windscreen. While the exhaust system remained secure at that time, the presence of corrosion indicates the beginning of degradation that requires monitoring. The failure in February 2025 for simple lighting issues suggests that basic electrical checks were neglected prior to that inspection. At 158,911 miles over 15 years, the Scudo averages approximately 10,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with 13,411 miles covered between February 2023 and February 2024, and another 12,443 miles by late 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the internal component failures associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus inspection on the steering system, as the power steering pipe or hose showed seepage in both February 2023 and February 2024. This recurring leak often leads to pump failure or steering rack damage if the hose is not replaced. The 2023 advisory regarding pitted front brake discs necessitates a physical check of current thickness and surface condition to ensure they have not thinned significantly since. Given the corroded exhaust mount noted in December 2025, a thorough check of the underbody is required to ensure that rust has not compromised the structural integrity of the exhaust or mounting points.
