2015 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · GN15 AZV

The 2015 Fiat Ducato has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 64,548 miles resulting in a clean pass and no advisories. This suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or structural issues during its most recent years of service. The absence of recurring faults or advisory notes in the last two tests—both in April 2024 and April 2025—indicates a stable maintenance pattern, though the 2022 test date (18 January) appears anomalous with a duplicate entry (one pass, one fail) at the same mileage, which may warrant clarification. The vehicle’s current MOT is just under a year old, placing it within the DVSA’s recommended 12-month renewal window for commercial vehicles, though buyers should verify if any advisory items were addressed privately between tests. The recorded mileage of 64,548 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 5,868 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given its commercial use. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests (57,419 to 60,863 miles) spans nearly a year with minimal mileage accumulation, suggesting prolonged periods of inactivity or limited usage. This could imply either careful storage or reduced operational demand, which may have mitigated accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals. Conversely, the consistent low mileage also raises questions about whether critical fluid changes (e.g., gearbox oil, differential fluid) were performed at manufacturer-recommended intervals, as prolonged standing can degrade lubricants even in unused vehicles. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on wear items that are not routinely tested by the MOT regime. The suspension—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as commercial vehicles often experience higher loads. Brake discs and calipers, though not flagged in tests, may show uneven wear if the vehicle was used for towing or heavy loads, so caliper binding or disc thickness should be checked. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the lack of corrosion advisories, but the wheel arches, sills, and underbody should still be scrutinised for hidden rust, especially if the vehicle was stored in wet conditions. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, as emissions-related failures are not uncommon in older commercial vehicles despite passing MOT tests.
