2019 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · PO69 WWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 85,039 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior at 85,003 miles. That failure identified a deficient parking brake efficiency, a defective exhaust mounting, and a worn offside front tyre. The proximity of these tests suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten the MOT certificate, rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern shows consistent use, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. There was a significant jump of 15,187 miles between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, and another 15,376 miles recorded in the following year. This high annual mileage places considerable strain on heavy-duty components such as the suspension and braking system, which is evidenced by the increasing wear across all four brake discs noted during the 2024 inspection. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the parking brake has been flagged twice needing adjustment and eventually failing efficiency requirements. The previous record of worn brake discs across all wheels suggests the calipers and hydraulic lines may be nearing the end of their functional life. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for secure mounting, as the rear silencer was flagged in late 2025. Given the high mileage and the history of tyre wear, an inspection of the suspension bushes and lateral stability is essential to ensure no structural fatigue has occurred from heavy loading.
