2003 Fiat Ducato 2.0L Diesel · FM03 XTU

The Fiat Ducato currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 March 2022 at 136,598 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable based on this singular data point, though the lack of historical entries limits a comprehensive assessment of long-term care. A clean pass with no advisories suggests the vehicle met all structural and mechanical standards at that time. With 136,598 miles recorded over 23 years, the Ducato has averaged approximately 5,939 miles annually, a low figure for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage recorded on 12 March 2022 matches the current total exactly, confirming the vehicle has either remained stationary or has not undergone a recorded test in over four years. Such prolonged inactivity often leads to deteriorated rubber components, corroded brake discs, and fuel system degradation. Buyers must inspect the vehicle in person to verify its current condition, as the four-year gap since the last test leaves its present state unverified. Focus the inspection on components vulnerable to prolonged standing. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related perishing and flat spots. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for binding, a common issue on stationary vehicles. Assess the suspension bushes and exhaust system for deterioration, and scrutinise the structural integrity of the chassis and body mounts for corrosion, which remains a persistent risk on older Ducatos.
