The paintwork on our Ducato is very dull and has no shine left. If you rub any of the paint with your finger, smears of white paint are left on your finger.
Is this likely because the clear coat has worn out? If so, is this something that T-cut could sort? Or is that just going to strip the paint off?

It doesn't look bad as there aren't really marks on the van, but it is like a matte finish and has no shine at all.
 
Should not be smears of white paint left on fingers, doubt your clear coat has worn out, as very much doubt it was clear coated from the factory, more than likely a 2 pack white it was sprayed with from the factory.
Here is a problem with trying to answer your question, we cant see your paint finish, not even a picture, we can't see if your paint is original or was it sprayed again in a cheap quality paint,
You need to bring your van to a spray painter so they can see it in person to advice you
 
Funny enough our fiat ducato 2000 motorhome does the same thing. Smears of white paint.

I have given it some hydrofobic product from carpro, that helps a lot. Would argue a more expensive ceramic coating would help even more. If not a new paint job. but thats out of the question for us at least.
