2009 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · FJ09 UOT

The 2009 Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 13 August 2025 at 44,510 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though it followed a failure on 25 July 2025 at 44,489 miles where the tester recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the van passed every test from 2022 through 2024 with no advisories logged. Recorded mileage stands at 44,510 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 2,618 miles per year. The van covered only 2,410 miles between the March 2022 test at 37,934 miles and the May 2023 test at 41,087 miles, then added just 1,014 miles to May 2024 at 42,101 miles. A larger gap then opened before the July 2025 failure at 44,489 miles, showing roughly fourteen months of minimal use. Low annual mileage of this kind often means long stationary periods, which can age tyres, flat-spot brake discs, and encourage corrosion even where the MOT log stays clean. The absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, or structural integrity across five years is a positive sign, but the sparse history gives limited insight into wear on consumable items. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for perished rubber components, binding brakes from disuse, and underbody rust around chassis rails and sills. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking and verify the exhaust emissions under load given the Ducato's age. Given the clean recent pass and low overall mileage, the van looks mechanically sound on paper. The July 2025 failure with no defects recorded warrants a query with the seller to confirm the reason, but the subsequent pass suggests no lasting concern.
