2012 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · EU12 AEK

The vehicle has passed every MOT test recorded, but the most recent assessment on 28 July 2022 revealed several lighting faults. The test was technically successful, yet the tester flagged non‑working near‑side and off‑side stop lamps and incorrectly aimed headlamps. No other mechanical or structural defects were reported in any of the tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no worsening issues. The record shows no recurring mechanical problems, only intermittent electrical lighting failures that have been addressed between tests. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a vehicle of this age. From 20,957 miles in February 2015 to 81,714 miles in July 2022, the average annual mileage fell from over 21,000 miles in the first year to just 1,759 miles in the final year. Annual MOTs were conducted without gaps, and the increments between tests are consistent with regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The low mileage for a 14‑year‑old vehicle suggests lighter use or careful maintenance, and the gradual decline in annual mileage indicates that the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy, high‑mileage driving. A prospective buyer should focus on the lighting system during a physical inspection. Verify that all stop lamps, rear position lamps, and headlamps are functional and correctly aimed, as these were the only recurring faults. Check the headlamp housing for cracks or corrosion that could affect beam projection. While the MOT record shows no issues with brakes, suspension bushes, or tyres, a thorough inspection of brake discs, calipers, and suspension components is advisable, as these are common wear points in light commercial vehicles. Inspect the vehicle for any surface rust on the chassis or body panels, and confirm that the acceleration sensor is operational, given the 2015 record of “no acceleration detected.” By concentrating on these areas, a buyer can confirm that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance history aligns with its low mileage and stable performance record.
