2004 Fiat Ulysse 2.0L Diesel · CU04 TFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the lack of recent testing data is a significant concern. The most recent MOT test on 8 December 2021 at 163,755 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just two miles prior on the same day. Since the vehicle has not been tested for over four and a half years, the current mechanical integrity is unverified and the risk of undetected component failure or corrosion-related issues during a long period of inactivity is high. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an MPV of this age, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. The record shows a gap of 4,600 miles between October 2018 and December 2020, followed by a 14,806-mile interval leading up to the final-recorded 2021 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle was used regularly rather than left to sit. However, the five-year lapse since the last recorded entry means that any rubber components, seals, or fluid integrity may have degraded regardless of the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and structural members, as the Fiat Ulysse of this era is prone to structural corrosion in the sills and floor pans. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes and coil spring fatigue, which often wear prematurely on heavy vehicles of this type. Given the long interval since the last professional-grade test, the braking system should be checked for seized calipers or perished brake lines that could occur while the vehicle sat stationary.
