2009 Fiat Ducato 2.2L Diesel · YN09 HCY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of neglect regarding basic consumable items. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 72,667 miles passed, the tester flagged defects on the offside front and nearside rear tyres. These issues were identical in the May 2025 test at 71,084 miles, indicating that the previous owner deferred addressing tyre condition until they reached critical limits. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2009 Ducato, averaging approximately 4,275 miles per year over its 17-year lifespan. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,900 miles covered between May 2025 and April 2026. This low annual mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it frequently leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the perishing tyres noted in the two latest inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and suspension components. The recurring reports of perishing on the offside front tyre suggest the rubber compound is failing due to age rather than tread depth. Given the 2022 advisory regarding thin front brake pads, the entire braking system should be checked for uneven wear or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion. Additionally, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at structural rust on the chassis, as these are the primary failure points for vans of this era regardless of recorded mileage.
