2008 FIAT DUCATO2.3L Diesel

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 January 2026 at 42,850 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test four days prior on 27 January 2026, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, which often suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,381 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between February 2024 and February 2025, where the odometer rose from 32,609 to 41,792 miles. This indicates a period of heavier use followed by a return to lower annual mileage. The clean record across the last three years suggests the vehicle has been kept in a condition that avoids common wear-and-tear failures. Low mileage on an older Ducato often implies long periods of standing, which can lead to specific deterioration not always captured in a brief MOT. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, can perish due to age regardless of the low mileage. The absence of any advisories regarding structural integrity or corrosion is positive, but the chassis should still be checked for rust in typical Fiat Ducato problem areas. Verifying the condition of the fluids and checking for signs of perished belts is advisable given the vehicle's age. The lack of recorded defects suggests a well-maintained example, provided the low usage has not led to dormant mechanical issues.
