1999 Fiat Ducato Diesel · T244 JJF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 23 January 2026 at 196,980 miles. This recent pass, recorded without any advisories or defects, indicates a stable and well-maintained condition for a vehicle of this age. The absence of recorded faults in the last four consecutive annual tests suggests that the owner has kept on top of routine maintenance and addressed potential issues before they escalated into test failures. With a total of 196,980 miles accumulated over 27 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,296 miles per annum. The mileage progression remains consistent across the provided history, showing an average increase of roughly 10,000 to 13,000 miles between annual tests. This steady usage pattern is preferable to long periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized brake components, perished rubber seals, and fuel system degradation in older diesel engines. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must prioritise the structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork, as 1999 Fiat Ducatos are prone to significant corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans. You should specifically check for signs of recent welding or underseal application that might mask underlying structural rust. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the drivetrain, specifically looking for oil leaks from the gearbox and engine, as well as the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs which may have reached the end of their service life.
