AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT record indicates a lapse in compliance. The test on August 3, 2023 at 105,218 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects recorded, which suggests an administrative or procedural failure rather than a systemic mechanical breakdown. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained three consecutive clean passes between 2019 and 2022, indicating a period of consistent maintenance and operational reliability without recorded faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with light use for a 14-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 100,951 miles in March 2019 to 104,492 miles in June 2022. This low annual mileage typically reduces the wear tear on the drivetrain and engine components, but can also increase the risk of age-related rubber degradation and seal failure. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests is standard, and the mileage remained relatively stable during these intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and lower chassis components, as low-mileage Ducatos are prone to corrosion if left sitting stationary. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the past history, a thorough check for rust on the side members, floor pans, and exhaust system is essential. Since the 2023 failure lacked specific defect data, verifying that the vehicle has since passed a test is critical to ensure no hidden issues with suspension bushes or brake lines have emerged since the last recorded entry.

MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

2 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Fiat Ducato (RO12 ANR) between June 2022 and August 2023.

The record contains 1 pass and 1 failure.

The most recent test on 03 August 2023 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue), Brakes (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 3 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h))”.

Our Verdict

Proceed with significant caution. This 2

Before purchasing, you must verify if the faults identified in the August 2023 MOT—specifically the engine malfunction light (MIL), the oil leak, and the wheel bearing—have been professionally rectified with accompanying receipts. Given the variety of failures ranging from suspension to engine management, a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential.

Negotiate the price downwards to account for potential upcoming maintenance, particularly regarding the suspension and braking components. Ask the seller for a full service history, as the MOT record alone does not confirm whether the oil leak or engine warning light was addressed through proper servicing or merely temporary fixes.

As a 2287cc diesel, running costs will be driven largely by fuel consumption and heavy-duty maintenance requirements. Tax and insurance groups for a 2012 Ducato vary depending on the specific payload and usage, but you should budget for higher-than-average commercial vehicle insurance.

Annual running costs are estimated to be significant due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect higher maintenance costs for consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension parts, which are common wear items for a van of this age and usage profile.

Focus heavily on the engine and drivetrain. The 2023 MOT noted an engine oil leak and an inoperative or malfunctioning Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp); these are critical issues that could signal expensive electronic or mechanical engine problems.

Check the front suspension and wheels thoroughly. The previous failure included a nearside front suspension arm ball joint with play and an offside front wheel bearing that was rough when rotated. Ensure these components feel tight and silent during a test drive, and inspect the brake pads to ensure the warning wire issue has been resolved.

This 2.3L diesel Fiat Ducato (RO12ANR) shows a significant jump in mechanical issues in its most recent MOT. While it passed in 2022 with no defects, the 2023 test recorded six distinct failure points covering braking, suspension, engine management, and bearings. At 105,218 miles, the vehicle is well above the model's average annual mileage of 4,341.

Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.4%, with common failures related to headlamps, corrosion, and service brakes.
