2006 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · FJ06 KUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2026 at 44,596 miles. While it failed the test that same day due to a non-functional nearside rear upper marker lamp, the rectification was immediate and successful. Overall, the maintenance trend remains stable, with the vehicle showing no significant mechanical failures or escalating structural deterioration over the last three years of recorded testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 20-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,230 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 42,502 miles and June 2026 at 44,596 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,094 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it introduces specific risks related to rubber-based degradation, as evidenced by the 2025 advisory regarding a perishing offside front tyre despite the low distance driven. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of age and low-mileage use. The 2024 test noted slight corrosion to both front inner arches, and while not a failure at that time, structural integrity must be monitored closely to ensure rust does not progress into critical load members. The buyer should also inspect all tyres for sidewall cracking or dry rot, as the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which degrades rubber before tread depth. Brake components and suspension bushes should be checked for seizing or splitting, which are common issues in vehicles that are not used regularly.
