2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · AU13 AAY

The 2026‑05‑29 MOT at 60,863 miles confirms roadworthiness, though the test logged an oil leak (8.4.1 (a) (i)) and an off‑side front electrical wire that was inadequately secured, together with a brake wear indicator wire defect. Since the 2021 test, the vehicle has passed each annual inspection without major failures, indicating a stable maintenance pattern, despite the recurring oil leak. Earlier failures in 2016 and 2018 show past mechanical concerns, but the recent run of passes demonstrates no worsening trend. The mileage progression from 28,808 miles in February 2018 to 60,863 miles in May 2026 represents an increase of 32,055 miles over eight years, averaging about 4,000 miles per year, which is low for a 13‑year‑old commercial van and suggests periods of limited use or standing. Between 2016 and 2018 the mileage rose sharply from 13,950 to 28,808 miles, indicating a short period of higher usage before the rate slowed. No significant gaps appear in the record; each year from 2016 onward shows an MOT, with only one failure in 2018 and one in 2016. A buyer should therefore inspect the engine for fresh oil seepage around the gasket area, verify the security and condition of the front electrical wiring harness, and measure brake pad thickness and disc wear, especially on the front and rear axles where previous tests noted thin pads and reduced rear brake effort. Given the history of tyre wear close to the legal limit in 2018‑2019, examine suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel‑arch areas for corrosion or binding calipers, and confirm that the chassis shows no structural rust. Ensure the registration plates are correctly spaced and legible, as earlier spacing errors have been corrected.
