1987 Fiat Ducato 2.0L Petrol · D108 DLR

The 1987 Fiat Ducato presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 78,789 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since the single failure in July 2022. The maintenance trend is resolving rather than worsening, with no advisories or recurring faults logged across the last four annual examinations. Recorded mileage stands at 78,789 against an age of nearly 39 years, equating to roughly 2,020 miles per year. The test history shows light and consistent use: 71,820 miles on 1 July 2022, 71,828 on 4 July 2022, 72,914 on 23 June 2023, 76,410 on 2 July 2024, and 78,789 on 24 June 2025. The only anomaly is the three-day gap in July 2022 where the vehicle failed then passed at near-identical mileage, implying a minor rectification rather than a serious defect. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear elsewhere in the data. The clean record gives no cause to suspect active suspension bush wear, coil spring fracture, brake disc scoring, or structural corrosion at the tested dates. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis rails, subframe, and sills for age-related rust, given the vehicle's 1987 build and probable outdoor storage during low-mileage periods. The DVSA tester recorded no defects, but MOT scrutiny of a classic van does not equal a detailed mechanical assessment. Verify the 2022 failure cause through the original refusal certificate, as the supplied entry lists no defects yet shows a fail. Confirm brake caliper freedom, exhaust emissions against period limits, and tyre sidewall condition before purchase, since these items degrade with time even when annual mileage stays low.
