2010 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · GY10 MCD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test in August 2025 at 47,239 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a defective headlamp lens. This followed a significant failure in August 2024 where the vehicle failed multiple critical points including suspension, steering, and braking efficiency. While the vehicle has passed its most recent inspection, the recurring nature of mechanical faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old van, averaging only under 3,000 miles per year with a total of 47,239 miles. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear from distance. Between August 2022 and August 2024, the vehicle covered 6,948 miles, yet it suffered extensive issues across suspension arm bushes and brake components. The pitting on the brake discs and corrosion on brake pipes are typical of vehicles that spend long periods stationary or undergo frequent short-trip cycles. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering system. The record shows a progression from worn bushes in 2023 to excessive wear in 2024, alongside damaged steering rack gaiters. These areas should be checked for fresh grease leakage or play to ensure the previous repairs were thorough and effective. Additionally, the history of corroded brake pipes noted in 2022 and heavily pitted discs noted in 2024 indicates that the braking system is prone to environmental corrosion. Verify the current state of the parking brake and the integrity of the exhaust silencer to ensure no structural thinning has progressed since the last advisories.
