2023 Fiat Ducato 35 Multijet III 2.2L Diesel · YY73 UWU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While it passed its most recent test on 5 June 2026 at 73,789 miles, it failed just four days prior with an extensive list of defects. The mechanical trend shows a recurring pattern of allowing minor electrical and glass-related faults to persist until the MOT deadline, suggesting that the owner only addresses repairs when legally necessary to obtain a test certificate. At 73,789 miles after only three years, this Ducato has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 24,600 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test at 49,387 miles and the June 2026 test, the vehicle clocked over 24,000 miles in just thirteen months. This high rate of use places consistent strain on commercial components, particularly the drivetrain and suspension system. The rapid accumulation of miles explains the accelerated wear observed on the front tyres noted in the latest test results. A physical inspection must focus on the alignment and suspension geometry, as the June 2026 failure noted both front tyres were worn on the edge. This often indicates tracking issues or worn suspension bushes which are common on high-mileage transit vans. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding parking brake efficiency requires a thorough check of the brake mechanism and rear drums to ensure the system is not gradually degrading despite the initial repair. The history of multiple electrical failures, including various lamps and mirrors, also warrants a check of the wiring loom and bulb housings for corrosion or intermittent faults.
