2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · WA13 ASO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 14 October 2025 at 15,213 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last three consecutive tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard. The brief failure on 12 September 2024 at 13,869 miles appears to have been a procedural or administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed a retest just four days later with no recorded faults, indicating no underlying mechanical failure. With a total of 15,213 miles over thirteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 1,170 miles per annum. This exceptionally low usage pattern often presents its own set of risks, as long periods of inactivity can cause seals to perish, fluids to degrade, and internal components to seize through lack of lubrication. The history shows a notable gap in testing between June 2023 and September 2024, implying the vehicle likely remained stationary for over a year. Such dormancy frequently leads to accelerated corrosion on brake discs and potential fuel system contamination. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for surface corrosion on the discs and seized sliding pins, which are common symptoms of vehicles that sit idle. Inspect the condition of all rubber components, including suspension bushes, gaiters, and tyre sidewalls, as these items often perish due to age rather than wear. Given the low mileage, verify that the timing belt has been replaced based on its age rather than the odometer reading, as rubber belts deteriorate over time regardless of how few miles the vehicle has covered. Confirm that the engine starts cleanly from cold and that there are no signs of fluid leaks originating from the gearbox or cooling system after the vehicle has been standing.
