2001 Fiat Campervan 1.9L Diesel · X988 BNA

The 2001 Fiat campervan presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 29 October 2024 at 78,029 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the July 2022 tests at 78,013 miles also returned passes with no advisories, following a clean pass in August 2021 at 7,688 miles. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five available entries. Mileage data reveals an unusual pattern for a 25-year-old vehicle. The August 2021 test shows just 7,688 miles, yet the July 2020 test logged 74,813 miles. That implies either a clerical error at one test or a period of extremely limited use before a sudden correction. From July 2022 to October 2024 the van covered only 16 miles, confirming it has stood largely idle. At 78,029 miles total, average use is around 3,121 miles per year, which is low and consistent with light or intermittent operation rather than sustained wear. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related corrosion on chassis and bodywork, as the MOT record contains no structural checks beyond the standard test scope and long standing periods invite rust. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have aged regardless of mileage and may show perishing or binding from disuse. The twin July 2022 entries, one fail and one pass on the same day at identical mileage, suggest an administrative re-test rather than a repaired defect, but no specific fault was listed. Given the sparse and clean history, the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic test compliance without neglect of consumables. The low and erratic mileage means mechanical condition depends more on storage than use. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise underbody condition, brake freedom after standing, and verification of the 2021 mileage anomaly against service records.
