2002 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · FE02 AYK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history following a minor initial failure. The most recent test conducted on 21 October 2024 at 42,563 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This follows two consecutive clean passes in 2023 and 2022, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components monitored by the DVSA remained within acceptable tolerances over the last two years of operation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,773 miles per year. Data shows very little movement between tests, with only 24 miles recorded between October 2022 and October 2023, and just 18 miles recorded in the following year. This extreme low-usage profile suggests the vehicle sits for long periods or is used only for very short local trips. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often increases the risk of age-degradation in rubber-based components and seals due to lack of mechanical exercise. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as low mileage does not prevent corrosion on a Fiat Ducato of this age. Focus on the chassis for structural rust, particularly around sills and mounting points, which can deteriorate regardless of distance driven. Because the vehicle has moved so infrequently, check for seized brake calipers, perished brake hoses, and degraded suspension bushes. The tyres should also be inspected for flat spotting or age-related cracking despite potentially having deep tread.
