FIAT DUCATO2013 · 2.3L Diesel

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-13 assessment at 23,214 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the low mileage of 23,214 over 13 years (1,786 miles annually) warrants scrutiny for potential long-term storage effects. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with the 2021 test at 16,268 miles followed by annual increases to 18,088 (2022), 19,284 (2023), 22,413 (2024), and 23,214 (2025). This steady pattern aligns with the car’s age but raises questions about periods of inactivity, as the low annual average contrasts with typical usage. The lack of rapid mileage spikes or significant gaps between tests implies consistent, light use, though the absence of high-mileage wear indicators like brake disc thinning or suspension component fatigue remains unverified by the record. A physical inspection should prioritise corrosion risks, particularly in the chassis and underbody, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluid systems. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions should be checked for age-related degradation, as these components are not assessed in MOTs. The brake system, while unmarked in records, requires scrutiny for caliper binding or disc warping, which could develop during prolonged inactivity. No structural integrity issues are flagged, but the buyer should verify fluid levels, battery condition, and steering linkages to confirm the car’s operational readiness.
