2012 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · AY62 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test on 28 April 2025 at 16,863 miles passed with no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of perfect scores since 2021. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old van, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. Between April 2021 and April 2025, the vehicle covered only 4,770 miles, showing a very slow accumulation of roughly 1,190 miles annually. This low usage indicates the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods or performs sparingly. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long-term standing often introduces risks related to age-related decay of rubber-based components that do not manifest through mileage alone. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by age rather than distance. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, and inspect the condition of rubber bushes, brake hoses, and suspension mounts which perish over time. Given the low mileage, the brake discs may suffer from surface corrosion or seized calipers due to lack of use. Additionally, examine the chassis and sills for structural rust, as the Ducato platform is prone to corrosion that can occur regardless of how few miles the vehicle has travelled.
