Our Verdict
This 2016 Fiat Ducato offers reasonable value for a commercial van but requires careful inspection of suspension and tyre components. The recent MOT failures highlight potential maintenance risks.
Prioritise checking the nearside and offside front suspension arms for wear, as both showed ball joint play in 2025. Verify the rear tyres have been upgraded to meet load index requirements following the 2024 failure. Inspect the brake system for signs of the 'back plate fouling brake disc' issue recorded in 2023. Negotiate a discount to cover potential repair costs, and request full service history to confirm maintenance consistency.
Diesel fuel economy for the 2.287cc engine is moderate, with typical urban mileage around 25-30 mpg. As a commercial vehicle, it may qualify for zero-rated road tax. Insurance groups for commercial vans vary, but expect mid-range premiums. Major maintenance costs could arise from suspension repairs or brake system work. Estimated annual running costs: £1,000-£1,200 including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance.
Focus on the suspension system, particularly the lower ball joints identified in multiple MOTs. Check rear tyres for correct load index ratings and ensure they've been replaced if necessary. Examine the brake discs and back plates for wear or misalignment. Review the windscreen for cracks or chips that may have contributed to repeated MOT advisories. Inspect the engine and transmission for unusual noises or vibrations during a test drive.
The vehicle has a mixed MOT history with recurring windscreen damage and suspension play, alongside a critical tyre load index failure. At 71,061 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for its age, though the 2.287cc diesel engine remains reliable for commercial use.
No aggregate reliability data available for the FIAT DUCATO model, but commercial vans of this era generally require regular suspension and brake maintenance.
