2009 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · DO08 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent April 2026 test at 43,570 miles. This result follows a period of consistent passes, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to operational standards. While a failure was recorded in February 2024, the immediate retest on the same day indicates that any identified defects were rectified promptly without a pattern of recurring mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the 2,219-mile gap between February 2024 and March 2025, and the mere 262-mile increase between March 2025 and April 2026. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long stationary periods often lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts that do not benefit from regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time-based decay rather than high mileage-related wear. Examine the chassis for structural corrosion and check for perished suspension bushes or split brake hoses, which can crack when a vehicle sits for extended months. Verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from brake rust or seizing. Ensure the tyres show no signs of flat spotting or cracking despite having sufficient tread depth.
