2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · VX13 AOT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-27 at 80,250 miles resulted in a pass, but a preceding failure on 2026-01-14 at 80,242 miles suggests an unresolved issue that was likely rectified between tests. No defects were recorded in either test, indicating the problems were minor or procedural. The pattern of alternating passes and failures in 2024 and 2026 implies inconsistent maintenance or potential recurring faults, though the absence of recorded defects limits definitive conclusions. Overall, the vehicle appears roadworthy but requires scrutiny for unresolved concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,173 miles annually. A notable jump from 63,467 miles in 2023 to 68,200 miles in 2024 reflects a 4,733-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 12,050-mile rise to 80,250 by 2026. This acceleration may indicate increased wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain. The MOT history lacks gaps, with tests every 12–14 months, suggesting regular compliance but no evidence of prolonged neglect. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as higher mileage increases stress on these parts. The braking system merits attention, particularly for uneven disc wear or binding calipers, which could stem from inconsistent maintenance. Corrosion in the exhaust system or underbody should also be checked, as age and usage heighten rust risks. While MOT records show no critical failures, the recent close succession of pass and fail results warrants a pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
