2016 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · SY16 OGF

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 35,605 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the mechanical issues identified in previous years have evidently been addressed. While the history shows intermittent wear-related faults, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged defects before they escalate into major failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 3,560 miles per year. Data shows a consistent, low-use pattern, with a gap of only 5,587 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2025. While low annual mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often increases the risk of rubber components degrading or seizing due to inactivity. The record indicates the vehicle is likely used for short-distance local tasks rather than high-miledistance commercial transit. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension and braking system. The October 2024 test at 30,041 miles flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. Although these passed the following year, a buyer should check for remaining play in the arms or perished cracking in the rubber. Similarly, the nearside front brake binding noted in March 2023 at 22,126 miles suggests a tendency for caliper sticking or disc corrosion, which is common in vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. Given the low mileage, the buyer must also verify the chassis for surface rust and structural integrity, as age-related corrosion can occur regardless of how many miles are driven. The wiper blades and tyres should be checked for age cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot before the tread depth reaches the legal limit.
