2014 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · YS14 XJK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 149,382 miles resulted in an immediate failure due to an illuminated supplementary restraint system warning lamp. While the vehicle passed a retest just two miles later, the persistence of a damaged windscreen and perished rear tyres across multiple years suggests that the owner only addresses defects when they threaten an MOT pass rather than when nearing a legal threshold. At 149,384 miles over twelve years, this Ducato has covered an average of approximately 12,450 miles per annum. The data shows consistent high usage, with roughly 7,500 miles recorded between March 2025 and February 2026, and another 7,600 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This steady mileage accumulation places significant strain on heavy-duty drivetrain and suspension components, yet the record lacks any evidence of major mechanical interventions or preventative inspections beyond basic-related items. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the air bag system to ensure the SRS fault was properly rectified and not merely cleared of code. The recurring issues with perished rear tyres and worn front tyres in 2025 and 2026 indicate a neglect of tyre maintenance and potential wheel alignment geometry issues. Given the high mileage and age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential, as these are common failure points on this model that are not fully captured by MOT advisories until they become critical.
