2004 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · FX54 AEG

The 2025‑05‑12 MOT at 43,430 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. Earlier failures in May 2025 and April 2024 were followed by successful retests, indicating an improving maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating condition. The mileage of 43,430 at 22 years old translates to roughly 1,974 miles per year, a figure that reflects light usage or extended periods of inactivity. A notable shift occurs between the May 2023 test at 214,324 miles and the April 2024 test at 42,126 miles, suggesting a possible odometer discrepancy, yet the recent mileage has remained stable, implying minimal wear on tyres, brakes and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, examine brake calipers for binding and brake discs for scoring, and assess the chassis and exhaust for corrosion or structural damage, as the earlier failures highlighted these areas. Overall, the recent clean test and low mileage indicate that, provided the previous repairs were correctly executed, the Fiat Ducato should be reliable, though a thorough visual and functional inspection remains advisable.
