2007 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · FJ07 ODY

The 2007 Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 47,448 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 21 October 2024 at 43,857 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 47,448 miles against an approximate 19-year age, equating to roughly 2,497 miles per year. The history confirms light use: the van covered only 1,474 miles between the August 2023 tests and the September 2025 test. A notable pattern appears in early 2024, where the vehicle failed on 21 February 2024 at 43,817 miles yet passed cleanly on 21 October 2024 at 43,857 miles, a gap of just 40 miles. The DVSA record lists no defects for either outcome, suggesting the February failure likely stemmed from administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical defect. Low annual mileage and a clean test sheet imply the previous keeper used the Ducato sparingly and maintained it to pass standard. Standing periods common with such low use can accelerate perishable component degradation not always visible at test. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness or corrosion induced by inactivity, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given long static storage. Structural integrity requires verification beneath the chassis and wheel arches for rust, as the MOT record notes no corrosion advisories but does not confirm underside condition. The absence of recorded faults across five tests reflects a sound baseline, though a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the vehicle's age and intermittent use.
