FIAT DUCATO2003 · 2.8L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent inspection on 09 June 2025 at 40,594 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025, these issues were rectified within days of the tests. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults to meet legal standards, and the current clean sheet indicates a temporary lack of ongoing mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,765 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between October 2023 at 37,767 miles and June 2024 at 37,882 miles, where only 115 miles were covered in eight months. The more recent interval shows 2,712 miles covered in the year between the last two tests. Such low usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading and fluid breakdown due to stationary periods. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity and the condition of rubber components that age regardless of mileage. Low-mileage vans are prone to hidden corrosion in the chassis rails and floor members, which may be masked by low distance. You should check for perished suspension bushes and cracked brake boots that often become brittle after long periods of standing. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for pitting and seized calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended durations.
