Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The Fiat Ducato passed its most recent MOT on 30 September 2022 at 88,333 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows two failed tests immediately preceding passes in both 2021 and 2022, each with no defects logged. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults, and no worsening condition is evident across the four-year span covered. Recorded mileage sits at 88,333 against a 1992 build, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year. The van added only 714 miles between the September 2021 pass and the September 2022 pass, confirming extremely light use. Such low annual coverage over 34 years often means long stationary periods, which accelerate rubber perishing, brake seizing, and hidden corrosion even when odometer wear stays minimal. The 2021 and 2022 failures carry no recorded defects, so the DVSA data gives no direct signal of suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural rust problems. A buyer should still treat the age and low mileage with caution. Inspect chassis rails, sills, and subframe for corrosion, check tyres for sidewall cracking from standing, and verify brake calipers are not binding after storage. Given the last test is nearly four years old as of July 2026, the vehicle has since run without recorded MOT evidence. A fresh test is essential before any purchase, with particular attention to exhaust emissions and structural integrity on this older panel van.
