2009 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · FJ59 EGD

The 2009 Fiat Ducato presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 39,867 miles. The absence of any recorded defects in the latest assessment indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A failed test appears in the record on 14 December 2023 at 36,795 miles, yet curiously lists no defects, suggesting either a data recording anomaly or an administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent pass on the same day at the identical mileage confirms the issue was rectified immediately, pointing to a diligent owner who addresses problems promptly. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 2,345 miles annually. Between 20 December 2022 and 14 December 2023, the Ducato covered only 784 miles, and the following year up to 19 December 2024 saw just 1,610 miles added. This minimal usage pattern implies long periods of standing rather than sustained commercial or personal deployment. Such low mileage can mask typical wear but introduces its own risks, particularly regarding perishable rubber components and moisture-related corrosion that stem from inactivity rather than use. Given the sparse mechanical fault history, a buyer should focus on the hidden risks associated with prolonged stationary periods rather than recurring mechanical failures. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and flat-spotting, as the rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the calipers for binding, a common issue when vehicles stand for extended durations. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers should be scrutinised for perishing, while the exhaust system and underbody require a thorough check for structural rust caused by moisture accumulation during idle spells.
