2004 FIAT DUCATO2.8L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 September 2025 at 57,652 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous three tests. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the immediate flagging of mechanical failures or structural degradation during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 52,352 miles and September 2025 at 57,652 miles, the vehicle covered only 5,300 miles over a three-year period. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, the long intervals between tests indicate the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. This often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid integrity regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on identifying the specific risks associated with low-mileage, high-age vehicles. Although the MOT record shows no recorded faults, the tester must check the chassis for structural corrosion and surface rust, which can develop on older Ducato models not stored externally. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and shock absorbers for leaks, as these parts perish through age rather than mileage. Additionally, verify the brake calipers for seized pistons or surface pitting, a common issue on vehicles that see infrequent use.
