2016 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · WA66 AWN

The 2016 Fiat Ducato has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 27 October 2025, with no defects recorded at 22,895 miles. The absence of advisories or repeated failures over the past three tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in stable condition, though the single failure in October 2024—despite identical mileage—indicates a minor anomaly that should be clarified. The most recent test was conducted just nine months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, given the low annual mileage. No structural or safety-critical components were flagged in the last pass, but the lack of advisories in prior tests means some wear may have gone unnoticed. The recorded mileage of 22,895 miles over nearly ten years—approximately 2,290 miles annually—is unusually low for a commercial van of this age, suggesting prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests (1,551 miles in a year) and the subsequent jump to 2,378 miles between 2022 and 2023 could imply sporadic use rather than consistent operation. The duplicate mileage entry for the 2024 failure and pass (both at 20,947 miles) is unusual and may indicate data entry error or a brief period of non-use between tests. While the low mileage reduces wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes and drivetrain, it also raises questions about fluid changes, tyre pressure monitoring, and potential corrosion from standing water. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the low mileage may mask gradual degradation. The brakes, while not failed in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust development. The dual MOT entries at identical mileage in 2024 warrant verification—either a service record or a physical check of the odometer. Finally, confirm that fluids (brakes, power steering, coolant) have been refreshed, as their longevity is tied to usage rather than mileage.
