2010 FIAT DUCATO2.3L Diesel

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 8 October 2024 at 45,564 miles resulting in a pass with no defects. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last five tests indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very light duty. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 2,848 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between October 2021 and October 2022, where the odometer rose from 10,782 to 31,724 miles. Since then, the annual accumulation has slowed, with 4,777 miles added between October 2023 and October 2024. This pattern suggests periods of relative dormancy interspersed with phases of more active use. While the DVSA records show no mechanical failures, the low mileage and age of the vehicle introduce specific risks. Long periods of standing often lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, regardless of tread depth. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as inactivity can cause sliders to seize. The lack of recorded structural corrosion in the MOT history is positive, but a physical inspection of the chassis and sills remains necessary for a vehicle of this vintage. Focus should be placed on the condition of the fluids and the battery, as low-mileage engines can suffer from moisture buildup in the oil or degraded coolant. Checking for signs of rodent damage to the wiring looms is also advisable given the vehicle's age and usage profile.
