2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · WA13 AOR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in May 2024 at 17,262 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just six days prior at 17,234 miles. Because the failure recorded no specific defects, it likely indicates an administrative error or a minor sensor-related issue that was immediately rectified, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2013 Ducato, averaging approximately 1,328 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between May 2021 and May 2022, where the vehicle covered only 3,306 miles in twelve months. Since the May 2022 test, the vehicle has covered only an additional 1,894 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluid breakdown that occurs during long periods of inactivity. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues associated with long-term standing rather than high-mile wear. Check for perished tyres, cracked suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers, as these often fail when vehicles are used infrequently. Given the age of the van, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and underbody is essential, as MOT tests do not always detect deep surface rust if the vehicle has sat in a humid environment. Ensure the brake fluid and coolant have been replaced recently to prevent internal corrosion despite the low odometer reading.
