2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · AU13 AEE

The 2023‑04‑04 MOT at 25,510 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable condition with no worsening trend. The preceding 2023‑04‑03 test at 25,509 miles also passed after a brief failure, indicating consistent performance. At 25,510 miles the van is effectively low‑mileage for a 13‑year‑old model, averaging only 1,962 miles per year; the jump from 22,491 miles in September 2021 to 25,430 miles in October 2022 represents a rapid accumulation of roughly 2,939 miles in a single year, after which mileage has remained virtually unchanged. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring, and assess the chassis and body for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, while also verifying that the exhaust system meets emission standards and that fluid levels and condition are satisfactory. The absence of recorded defects across four consecutive tests suggests that previous owners have maintained the van diligently, but the age of the vehicle means that hidden corrosion or component fatigue may still be present, making a thorough physical inspection essential before purchase.
