2022 Fiat Ducato 42 Maxi Multijet Power 2.3L Diesel · YX22 KTA

Repeated front‑headlamp failures dominate the MOT record, with a near‑side dipped‑beam fault in March 2025 and an off‑side aim defect in March 2026, each corrected on the day of testing. Aside from those isolated lighting issues the vehicle has passed three subsequent tests without any recorded defects, indicating that the broader safety and emissions items have remained within acceptable limits during the most recent inspections. At 128,205 mi for a four‑year‑old van the annual accumulation works out to roughly 32,000 mi per year, a mileage level that is considerably above average for this class. The MOT history shows no gaps in testing, suggesting the odometer reading reflects continuous use rather than long periods of storage. Such high utilisation will accelerate wear on consumables such as tyre tread, brake pads, suspension bushings and engine oil seals, meaning those components should be examined closely for remaining service life. When inspecting the lighting system, verify that both front headlamps illuminate correctly on dipped and main beam, and confirm the aim is within the legal projection envelope. Remove the bulbs and inspect the sockets and wiring harnesses for corrosion, cracked insulation or loose connections that could have caused the previous failures. Re‑fit the correct specification bulbs and, if possible, have the aim checked on a workshop lift to ensure the beam pattern is properly centred and symmetric. Given the mileage, a practical test‑drive should include listening for any knock or clunk over bumps that could indicate worn suspension arms or bushings, feeling for pedal judder or sponginess that may reveal brake pad or disc wear, and checking for any pull or vibration in the steering that could point to tyre imbalance or steering‑rack play. A visual inspection of the under‑body for any signs of fluid leaks, especially around the engine and gearbox, will also help confirm that the drivetrain has not been unduly stressed by the high‑kilometre usage.
