2008 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · BA51 MMS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by five consecutive annual passes without any recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 24 June 2026 at 48,192 miles returned a clean sheet, maintaining a trend of consistent maintenance that has persisted since 2022. This suggests that any previous mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed and that the vehicle is currently operating in a high state of mechanical repair relative to its age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,677 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, for example, only 4,138 miles accumulated between June 2024 and June 2026. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts. The record shows no significant gaps in testing that suggest the vehicle was neglected or subjected to sudden heavy-duty use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition, as historical records show recurring issues in these areas. The 2023 test flagged low parking brake efficiency, while the 2021 record noted pitted front brake discs and a corroded exhaust. Although these appear resolved now, the inspector should check for current binding calipers or further structural corrosion on the exhaust manifold. Additionally, given the 2015 advisory regarding cracking tyres, the current age of the sidewalls must be verified for dry rot, as low mileage often masks the chemical breakdown of rubber over time.
