2010 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · PO60 AXM

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. Following a period of mechanical issues in its earlier years, the most recent tests in July 2025 at 251,884 miles and July 2024 at 249,015 miles show no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the vehicle has transitioned from a period of reactive repairs to a phase of consistent upkeep, with the current roadworthiness status appearing solid based on the latest inspection data. The mileage accumulation is high, averaging approximately 15,743 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. The records show significant usage, particularly the jump from 136,301 miles in 2015 to 168,183 miles in 2016, and a substantial increase from 197,756 miles in 2017 to 214,670 miles in 2018. While the high mileage suggests heavy commercial or long-distance use, the consistency of the annual testing intervals shows the vehicle has remained in active service without long periods of neglect. A prospective buyer should focus on the mechanical components that have historically required attention. The 2014 failure highlighted significant issues with the offside front suspension ball joint and the rear air suspension system, which showed no movement. Although these faults were cleared, the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear in suspension bushes, ball joints, and damping components. The 2021 test also flagged a nearside rear service brake binding, so a physical inspection of the braking system, including disc thickness and caliper operation, is necessary to ensure no recurring binding or uneven wear exists. Given the heavy usage, the underside should be checked for structural corrosion, particularly around the chassis and suspension mounting points. While the recent three years of clean MOT results are encouraging, the cumulative mileage means that consumables like tyres and wiper blades should be checked, as previous failures in 2014 and 2017 indicated a tendency for these to be run close to legal limits. Focus on the air suspension integrity and the condition of the drivetrain to confirm the vehicle remains reliable for continued high-mileage operation.
