1995 Fiat Ducato 2.5L Diesel · M973 KRH

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a history of consistent passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 34,970 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a nearside front dipped beam and incorrect offside front headlamp aim. These issues were rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed retest with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the primary mechanical and electrical systems are currently meeting minimum legal standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 31-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,128 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the vehicle covered only 499 miles, moving from 34,471 to 34,970 miles. This extremely low usage suggests the van has likely been stored or used sporadically. While this reduces engine component wear, such low mileage often masks issues related to rubber perish, fluid degradation, and brake corrosion that are not captured by a standard MOT inspection alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as Ducatos of this era are prone to significant rust when left stationary for long periods. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, the buyer must check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes caused by infrequent use. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the sidewalls of the tyres for cracking and dry rot, as these components degrade through environmental exposure regardless of the low mileage recorded on the odometer.
