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.
