I need a cheap 2nd van and have found a scudo with 98k on the clock, how reliable are they?

FIAT

Fix It Again Tomorrow

Old joke!!

Had a Dispatch up until recently and had a few problems. It had done 140k though. Good van for WFP dont think any car or van is perfect, just get one with History and recent wear and tear parts. Exhaust, Cat, Clutch etc if you are going for an high mileage.

at 98 K you would hope the belts have been changed , if not they will need to be changed

they are built by pooereon / fiat and Peugeot , not the most reliable of makes
but you get what you pay for, you might be lucky with a good un that nothing goes wrong on

Well said I've had 4 of them over the years.
Ugly, slow, but very cheap
