2011 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · FJ11 EEM

The Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 June 2025 at 55,170 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 2 June 2025 at the same mileage, though the DVSA entry logs no defects for either event. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle has carried a clear record since. Mileage stands at 55,170 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 3,678 miles per year. The van covered only 4,048 miles between the April 2023 test at 49,122 miles and the June 2025 pass, with a notable gap of over fourteen months between the 24 June 2024 pass at 53,763 miles and the 2025 retest. Such low, irregular use implies long standing periods, which commonly accelerate corrosion and degrade rubber suspension bushes and brake caliper seals even where the odometer stays low. No advisories or defects appear across any recorded test, so the buyer cannot draw fault trends from the MOT alone. The absence of flagged items does not confirm sound condition after fifteen years. A physical inspection should target structural integrity beneath the body, checking chassis rails and subframes for corrosion, and examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation. Given the 2025 failure with no listed defect, the buyer should obtain the full VOSA failure reason and confirm the vehicle was properly rectified. Verify the service history and inspect tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables leave no trace on a clean MOT where testing was sparse.
