2021 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · FA21 AGO

The 2021 Fiat Ducato has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, both of which occurred within the past year. The July 2025 pass at 72,818 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no advisories or major failures to suggest imminent mechanical failure. While the absence of faults is reassuring, the lack of any recorded issues does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection—particularly given the vehicle’s high mileage relative to its age. The recorded mileage of 72,818 miles over five years equates to approximately 14,564 miles annually, which is significantly above the average for a commercial van of this type. The gap between tests—from 63,334 miles in July 2024 to 72,818 miles in July 2025—indicates consistent usage without prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of miles suggests accelerated wear on high-stress components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, all of which should be scrutinised for premature degradation. The absence of any advisories in either test implies either diligent maintenance or that wear has not yet progressed to a testable threshold. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, including the condition of bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs for cracking or excessive play. The braking system warrants particular attention, especially the rear calipers and discs, as binding or uneven wear could have gone unnoticed without a dynamic test. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion could compromise safety without immediately failing an MOT. While the MOT record provides no cause for immediate concern, these areas are at higher risk due to the vehicle’s usage pattern.
