2014 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · YR64 PAO

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and the maintenance history indicates a worsening mechanical trend. The most recent test on June 1, 2026, at 102,037 miles resulted in multiple critical failures including a split nearside front CV boot, a missing offside rear seat belt, and poor parking brake efficiency. This follows a significant failure in July 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle can pass between tests, the mechanical upkeep has been reactive rather than preventative. At 102,037 miles over 12 years, the Ducato averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical commercial usage for this age. However, the mileage data shows a period of low activity between August 2023 (93,510 miles) and July 2024 (96,308 miles), where only 2,800 miles were covered in nearly a year. This gap correlates with the subsequent discovery of worn brake components and suspension bushes, indicating the vehicle may have suffered from corrosion or rubber artwork degradation during periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking systems as these areas show recurring issues. The 2024 test flagged worn lower suspension arm bushes on both sides and a track rod end with excessive play, followed by significantly worn brake discs and thin pads. The recent 2026 failure of the parking brake and the CV boot suggests that previous repairs were either not fully addressed or that components have failed rapidly. Attention should also be paid to the engine management system, which was noted as inoperative in 2024, representing potential electrical faults that may remain hidden.
