2008 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · HX08 AJV

The 2026-02-19 MOT at 63,497 miles confirms the 2008 Fiat Ducato remains roadworthy, though the front brake disc is worn, pitted or scored and the near‑side front tyre shows perishing while the off‑side front tyre is worn close to the legal limit. No defects were recorded in any preceding test, indicating a stable maintenance record. The recorded mileage of 63,497 miles over 18 years averages 3,528 miles per year, a figure well below the typical wear rate for a vehicle of this age, suggesting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage increments are modest, with the largest annual increase occurring between the 2020‑11‑24 test (58,040 miles) and the 2021‑12‑22 test (58,652 miles), a rise of 612 miles, and no abrupt jumps are evident in the sequence. A buyer should therefore inspect the front brake assembly for disc thickness and pad wear, examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of binding or corrosion, and verify that the tyres have adequate tread depth and are free of sidewall damage. Particular attention to structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches, and confirmation that the exhaust system is intact are also advisable, given the earlier 2011‑05‑20 failure related to a missing exhaust part. Overall, the vehicle presents a low‑mileage profile with a largely defect‑free history, but the recent tyre and brake findings imply that previous owners may have deferred routine tyre replacement and brake maintenance; a thorough in‑person assessment of these components will determine whether the observed wear is superficial or indicative of deeper neglect.
