2012 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · BU12 LCW

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend across the last five years. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 34,835 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the clean sheets seen in previous years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation common in older commercial vans. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old Fiat, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between May 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered only 5,934 miles in 18 months. However, recent usage has remained minimal, with 1,468 miles recorded between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. While low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by time rather than distance. A buyer must specifically check the chassis for structural corrosion, as low-mileage vans often hide rust that develops while sitting stationary. The inspector should also examine suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or per, as these perish from age despite having sufficient tread depth. Brakes should be tested for glazed pads or seized calipers, a common issue when a vehicle is not used frequently.
