FIAT DUCATO2020 · 2.3L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on its last recorded test, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent MOT on 20 January 2023 at 26,231 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates the vehicle was in a stable mechanical condition at that time, with no immediate concerns regarding brake efficiency, suspension integrity, or exhaust emissions. The mileage is exceptionally low for a six year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 4,372 miles per year. However, the record shows the vehicle has not accumulated a single mile since the January 2023 test. This suggests the van has been stationary for over three years. Long periods of inactivity often lead to specific mechanical degradations that a standard MOT cannot track over time. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. Standing vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers and brake disc corrosion, while tyres can develop flat spots or perish despite having legal tread depth. The lack of movement since 2023 also increases the risk of perished rubber seals and degraded battery health. Check for signs of chassis corrosion and verify the fluid levels. While the 2023 record shows no structural issues, the extended period of dormancy may have allowed moisture to settle in the fuel system or caused seals to shrink. A full service and a fresh MOT are essential to ensure the vehicle remains safe for road use after such a prolonged hiatus.
