FIAT DUCATO2012 · 2.3L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its successful MOT on February 24, 2026, at 133,892 miles. While the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by a pass, the most recent inspection recorded no defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner is proactive in rectifying issues once they are flagged by the tester, rather than performing preventative maintenance ahead of the test. The clean sheet from the 2026 test indicates that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards for road. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 14-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year to reach the current total of 133,892 miles. Between February 2024 and February 2026, the vehicle covered roughly 21,000 miles, showing it is still used regularly for transit work rather than sitting for long periods. This consistent usage generally benefits the engine and prevents mechanical seals, though it accelerates the natural wear on suspension components and braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the recent failures in 2025 and early 2026. Since the record does not specify the exact reasons for those failures, the inspector must check for common Ducato weaknesses such as worn suspension bushes, perished coil springs, or exhaust leaks. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis sills is essential, as these vehicles are prone to hidden rust over time. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear will also ensure the recent pass reflects a genuine mechanical fix.
