Hi, I subscribe to the ‘Honest John’ email and while reading the latest Q&A section this caught my eye;
Our van falls into the category of low annual mileage simply because we cannot get away as often as we would like due to family commitments (like many other owners I’m sure).
What are peoples views on the statement in the article linked above that Fiat Ducato vans are designed for 6 to 7 year high mileage usage and then scrapped?
It does not ring quite true to me given the amount of older Fiat Ducato based motor homes you see on the road. But if it were, what preventative maintenance is recommended (other than regular servicing) to ensue low mileages dont result in long term problems ?
