1993 FIAT DUCATO2.5L Diesel

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until May 2027, following a clean pass on 28 May 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has achieved four consecutive passes without any recorded defects or advisories. The failure recorded on 14 May 2025, just two weeks prior to the successful test, suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue that did not impact the long-term structural integrity of the chassis or mechanical systems. At 175,035 miles over 33 years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,300 miles per annum, which is relatively low for a commercial platform of this vintage. The consistency of the annual testing cycle between 2022 and 2025 indicates the vehicle has remained in regular use rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity. Such usage patterns often prevent the common issues associated with standing, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals, though the age of the vehicle necessitates a cautious approach regarding hidden degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on areas not always captured by the MOT test, specifically looking for signs of historical corrosion on the underside and structural mounting points. While the recent test history is clean, a 1993 Fiat Ducato is prone to bodywork rot and chassis oxidation that may be masked by underseal. Inspect the suspension bushes, steering rack gaiters, and cooling system hoses for signs of age-related cracking, as these components often reach the end of their service life regardless of the recorded mileage. Confirm that the engine oil and coolant show no signs of contamination, as the low annual mileage may have previously masked underlying cooling system inefficiencies or oil leaks.
