2002 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · DC02 RHX

The 2002 Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 113,921 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from January 2022 through to the current certificate. The mileage pattern is unusual for a 24-year-old van. Annual tests show 109,319 miles in January 2022, 111,184 in January 2023, 112,710 in January 2024, then a sharp drop to 80,535 at the 8 January 2025 test before climbing back to 113,921 by March 2026. The 2025 figure is almost certainly a clerical error at the testing station rather than a genuine reduction, but the net gain of only 4,602 miles across the full record implies very light use, around 4,700 miles per year. Such low accumulation typically signals long idle periods, which carries its own risks for seals, tyres, and brake components through lack of movement. No advisories or failures appear in the DVLA history, so there is no recorded trend of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion requiring attention. A clean sheet over five tests suggests the previous keeper kept the vehicle to a basic pass standard, though absence of advisories does not confirm underlying condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and chassis rails for rust, check brake calipers for binding after standing, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the likely storage time. The 1.9 or 2.8 diesel drivetrain should be cold-started to confirm no smoke or emission issues missed by the tester. Low mileage vans of this age often hide perished rubber and stale fluid rather than worn mechanical parts.
