Moderate sample. 404 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Fiat Ducato is performing well above the UK average with a 90% first-time pass rate, 10 points ahead of the national benchmark. Dangerous defects are rare at just 1%, so structural and safety concerns are minimal in this cohort.

These vehicles are running relatively light mileage at 11,185 miles median for their age, which explains the excellent pass rate and very low failure rate of 0.12 per vehicle. With only 0.2 advisories per vehicle on average, the Ducato is proving mechanically sound, but you should still budget for a pre-purchase inspection to confirm service history before committing to one.

The 2022 Fiat Ducato passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.2% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
