2012 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · RO12 ANX

The Fiat Ducato presented a valid MOT pass on 15 February 2024 at 159,828 miles with no defects recorded, confirming statutory roadworthiness at that date. The maintenance trend across the available five-year record stays stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults. A curious anomaly appears on 1 March 2023 when the tester failed the van at 142,372 miles yet logged no defects; the same day produced a pass at identical mileage, implying a procedural or administrative irregularity rather than a degradation in condition. Mileage advanced from 118,349 in the 18 February 2021 test to 126,783 by 17 February 2022, a modest 8,434-mile year. The following interval to 1 March 2023 added 15,589 miles, and the final stretch to February 2024 contributed 17,456 miles. Those later periods exceed the vehicle’s lifetime average of roughly 11,400 miles per annum, signalling heavier commercial use in the recent past. Beyond the supplied entries the early history is absent, but the documented span stays clean of consumable or structural flags. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core components given the age and accumulated distance. The tester noted no suspension bushes, coil springs, or braking defects, but at fourteen years old the Ducato may harbour corroded subframes or tired dampers not captured by a bare advisory list. Verify the 2023 failure cause through DVSA channels. Check brake disc thickness, caliper operation, exhaust emissions hardware, and tyre tread depth personally. The absent defect log suggests prior owners addressed issues preemptively, yet high recent mileage demands scrutiny of drivetrain wear and structural rust before purchase.
