2018 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · BJ68 LTY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in November 2025 at 150,792 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that previous electrical issues have been rectified. This clean result follows a period of minor lighting-related failures, suggesting the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards despite its high usage intensity. The mileage profile is heavy for an eight-year-old van, averaging nearly 19,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between November 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered 27,319 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests intensive commercial application or long-distance transit, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The consistent annual testing interval shows the vehicle has remained in regular use, though the high mileage places substantial strain on the heavy-duty mechanical components. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension geometry given the high-mile history. The 2021 test at 50,473 miles flagged worn front brake discs, and with an additional 100,000 miles since then, a buyer must check for thinning pads, warped rotors, or signs of caliper seizing. The high mileage also necessitates a thorough check of the control arms and shock absorbers, as these often reach the end of their service life under heavy loads. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the chassis should be inspected for underbody rust common in high-mileage Ducatos which may not have compromised structural integrity.
