1991 Fiat Ducato 2.4L Diesel · J173 CHE

The Fiat Ducato presents a passed roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 15 July 2025 at 231,105 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record shows administrative anomalies rather than mechanical decline. Two failed entries on 15 July 2025 and 12 July 2024 at identical mileages to their paired passes suggest clerical or process errors at the testing station, not recurring faults. Recorded mileage stands at 231,105 against a 35-year lifespan, averaging 6,603 miles per year which is typical for this vehicle class. The gap between 12 July 2024 at 224,626 miles and 16 May 2025 at 231,008 miles shows 6,382 miles in ten months, then only 97 miles to the July 2025 pass. Such low accumulation near the end of the period implies the van saw minimal use in mid-2025 or was presented for test with negligible movement between May and July. No advisories or defects appear across any entry from 2024 to 2025, so the MOT data alone flags no suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and chassis rust in person given the 1991 build and 231k mileage, as the Ducato's age makes hidden floor rot or spring perch fatigue likely outside the test scope. Verify the duplicate fail-pass pairs with DVSA to confirm they were system errors rather than suppressed faults. Check tyre sidewall cracking, caliper slide freedom, and coil spring condition visually, since the clean record offers no evidence either way on consumable wear.
