2003 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · FH03 ATK

The 2003 Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 45,821 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 23 February 2023 at 40,165 miles was rectified and the vehicle passed the very next day with no defects listed, indicating a clerical or minor presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 45,821 miles against 23 years of age, an average of roughly 1,992 miles per year. The test history shows gentle accumulation: 38,947 miles in February 2022, 40,165 in February 2023, 43,507 in February 2024, and 45,821 in May 2025. No rapid jumps or dormant gaps appear; the low annual use suggests light duty, though prolonged standing between short trips can age tyres, seals, and brake components without high-mileage wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly chassis rails and sills, given the vehicle's age and likely outdoor storage. The MOT record flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, but the absence of recorded faults does not confirm their condition at sale. Check for perished rubber, binding calipers from disuse, and flat-spotted tyres before purchase. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, yet low mileage alone offers no guarantee against age-related degradation unseen by the tester.
