2017 Unknown 6.5L Diesel · S90 ABE

The 2017 Ducato Carthago 55 presents a fully clean MOT record with zero advisories or failures across all five recorded tests, including the most recent pass on 6 May 2026 at 32,446 miles. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, with no recurring defects, no corrosion calls, and no mechanical deterioration flagged at any stage. This is an unusually clean history for a nine-year-old motorhome and suggests attentive, consistent upkeep rather than neglect or deferred repairs. The mileage accumulation is notably low, averaging roughly 3,605 miles per year over nine years. The intervals between tests show steady, incremental use: 2,219 miles between June 2022 and May 2023, 2,217 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, 3,358 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, and 3,569 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. The slight uptick in annual mileage in the last two years indicates the vehicle has been used more regularly recently rather than sitting idle for extended periods. No gaps or anomalies appear in the record to suggest the odometer has been tampered with or that long stationary spells have caused deterioration from disuse. Despite the clean paper record, a buyer should still inspect the chassis and structural underbody for surface corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, brake lines, and exhaust hangers, as motorhomes of this age can develop hidden corrosion even when MOT testers find no actionable defects. The tyres deserve close attention given the low annual mileage; if the same set has been fitted since 2022 or earlier, the rubber may be perished or aged beyond safe use regardless of remaining tread depth. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as infrequent use can cause sticking and glazing that a stationary emissions test will not reveal. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be examined for perishing or sag, especially if the vehicle has been loaded heavily or spent periods on uneven ground. The clean MOT history is a strong positive indicator, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm that low-mileage use has not masked age-related deterioration.
