2011 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · YN11 AHE

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-08 shows the vehicle failed with critical issues: the engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) inoperative, registration plate lamp faults, and recurring corrosion on the exhaust and rear brake discs. A separate entry on the same date also notes the vehicle passed with similar minor defects, suggesting unresolved concerns. This inconsistency raises questions about whether the failures were addressed before retesting. Recurring mechanical patterns include exhaust corrosion , brake disc corrosion or pitting , and windscreen damage . These issues first appeared in 2023 and reoccurred in subsequent MOTs, indicating persistent exposure to harsh conditions or inadequate maintenance. The 2026 failure highlights a serious safety risk with the engine MIL, which could hide unresolved drivetrain or emissions problems, and lighting faults, which compromise visibility and compliance. The trend shows no improvement in critical areas. While some minor issues like windscreen damage may be repairable, the repeated corrosion of brake discs and exhaust suggests ongoing environmental or maintenance challenges . The vehicle’s high mileage (194,174 miles over 15 years, ~12,945 miles annually) implies heavy use , accelerating wear on components like brakes, suspension, and exhaust systems. However, the data does not confirm whether this mileage reflects consistent use or periods of inactivity.
