2006 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · FJ06 KUS

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a pattern of deferred maintenance despite its low mileage. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 25,343 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior. The failure record reveals significant mechanical issues, including poor parking brake efficiency and binding front brakes, which were addressed only to secure a pass. The trend suggests a reactive maintenance approach where the owner performs only the minimum repairs necessary to pass the MOT test rather than engaging in proactive preventative care. The mileage data is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old Ducato, showing only 25,343 miles and an average of roughly 1,267 miles per year. Between the September 2023 and October 2024 tests, the vehicle covered a mere 59 miles. This extreme low-use is directly linked to the visible degradation of rubber components. The record consistently flags perishing and cracking on tyres across multiple tests since 2023, indicating that the tyres are failing due to age and oxidation rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough structural inspection of the front crossmember, which was flagged for corrosion in October 2024. Structural integrity on vehicles of this age is a primary concern when they sit for long periods. The buyer should also verify the cooling system, as a leak was noted in 2024, and inspect the braking system for continued binding or seized calipers. The anti-roll bar linkage was also noted as worn in 2025, suggesting that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their life due to age despite the low mileage.
