2016 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · YP66 EXT

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is currently PASSED, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating. The most recent test on 2025-09-26 was passed at 89,056 miles, yet the MOT record indicates a significant decline in condition over the past four years. Failing twice on the 2024-09-26 test at 75,100 miles suggests that basic upkeep was skipped during this period, leading to progressive wear on critical components. This pattern of failure is not stable; the 2023-10-09 test on 57,522 miles was passed, but the 2022-10-06 test on 49,756 miles failed, indicating that the vehicle has been accumulating wear at a rate that is increasing over time. The mileage pattern reflects a rapid accumulation of consumption. The vehicle has maintained roughly 8,906 miles per year, which is typical for its age but does not account for the specific wear on consumables that occurred between 2024 and 2025. The gap between the 2024-09-27 test at 75,102 miles and the 2025-09-26 test at 89,056 miles is notable, as the mileage increased without a corresponding improvement in the MOT score. This rapid accumulation of miles implies that the vehicle has been driven for a significant duration with no maintenance performed, leading to the failure of suspension bushes, brake discs, and structural components in the last two years. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the severity of these recurring faults. The most critical finding is the failure of the brake anti-slip provision and the structural integrity of the engine mounting on the 2024-09-26 test, which directly impacts braking performance. Additionally, the nearside front suspension arm ball joint is flagged as likely to become detached, and the central front lower engine mounting is damaged, both of which could lead to severe vibration and safety hazards. The 2023-10-09 test revealed binding in the service brakes, which is a dangerous condition that requires immediate attention to prevent a breakdown. The overall roadworthiness is therefore not a reliable indicator of future safety, as the vehicle has failed multiple tests in the last two years, suggesting that the mechanical components are deteriorating and the vehicle is no longer roadworthy.
