2018 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · SB68 MFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive service history. While the most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 208,324 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure for a non-functional headlamp, a twisted nearside front brake hose, and worn suspension arm bushes. The presence of these faults at the point of testing suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they threatened an MOT pass, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 26,000 miles per year. A significant discrepancy exists in the records between the December 2023 test at 152,071 miles and the November 2024 test at 295,236 miles, showing a staggering increase of over 143,000 miles in just eleven months. This rapid accumulation confirms heavy commercial use, which places extreme strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components, as evidenced by the split CV boot and worn brake pedals noted in late 2024. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the nearside arm bushes were already flagged as worn in the 2025 test. The previous failure regarding a split CV boot and a twisted brake hose necessitates a close look for secondary damage to the drive shafts or improper routing of the braking assembly. Given the high mileage and the history of worn tyres and smooth pedals, the condition of the clutch and the overall structural integrity of the chassis should be top priorities to ensure the vehicle is not nearing the end of its economically operational life.
