FIAT DUCATO2011 · 2.3L DIESEL

The Fiat Ducato passed its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 41,779 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend is resolving rather than worsening: a failure on 10 September 2025 at 41,690 miles for both front headlamp aim and excessive wear to the near and offside front suspension arm bushes was fully corrected within eight days. Prior to that, the vehicle recorded four consecutive passes with no advisories, indicating a stable history once the isolated front-end faults were addressed. At roughly 15 years old the Ducato shows 41,779 miles, an average of about 2,785 miles per year. The records confirm light use. Mileage moved from 32,229 on 22 December 2021 to 33,934 on 20 January 2023, then 34,800 on 10 May 2024 and 41,690 by September 2025. A gap of over sixteen months between the 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by a sharper 6,900-mile rise in the final year, suggests the van stood idle for long periods before recent more regular running. Low mileage and clean intermediate tests imply basic care was adequate, though the 2025 failure shows deferred attention to front suspension wear. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension arms and their bushes for fresh play or cracking, since both sides wore excessively by September 2025 and may degrade again under load. Verify the headlamp alignment on dipped and main beam, as incorrect aim was a stated failure. Check the subframe, chassis rails, and body mounts for corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely outdoor standing. Confirm brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses show no binding or seepage, as these were not tested to failure but sit unverified beyond the pass result.
