2007 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · WV57 VBE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass on April 14, 2026, 97,945 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of significant mechanical neglect in early 2025. While the vehicle failed a major test a year prior, the most recent result with zero defects indicates that the previous owner addressed the critical suspension and braking issues to bring the van back to passing standards. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 97,945 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,155 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a jump of 10,829 miles recorded between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 4,575 miles between April 2024 and April 2025. This low annual mileage suggests light use, but the age of the vehicle makes rubber components and seals prone to degradation, which is consistent with the wear seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end geometry, as the April 2025 failure highlighted excessively worn suspension arm bushes and a rough nearside front wheel bearing. These components often lead to uneven tyre wear if not monitored. The parking brake system also requires close scrutiny; the record shows an inoperative side and low efficiency in 2025 that was later rectified, suggesting the mechanism or cables may have seen significant strain. Tyre condition is a recurring concern as the history shows a consistent pattern of tyres reaching the legal limit or wearing on the edges across 2023 and 2025. This suggests a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. Given the vehicle's age, the inspector should also check the chassis for structural integrity and corrosion, as low-age Ducatos are susceptible to structural rust regardless of the low mileage driven.
