2003 Auto-Trail Ducato 15 JTD Apache 650 LWB 2.8L Diesel · FN03 CNZ

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 27 August 2025 at 37,447 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories, though both years show an initial failed attempt on the same date as the pass at identical mileage, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The absence of recorded defects across all entries suggests no worsening pattern in wear or structural condition. The recorded mileage of 37,447 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 1,628 miles per year across the vehicle's 23-year life, confirming exceptionally low use for a Fiat Ducato-based motorhome. The record moves from 34,858 miles in September 2023 to 36,129 in September 2024 and 37,447 by August 2025, a steady annual accumulation near 1,300 miles with no rapid spikes. Such low standing and light touring patterns typically spare drivetrain and suspension bushes from heavy cyclic stress, though prolonged inactivity risks seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and dormant corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers for binding or seizure given the long dormant periods between use. Examine coil springs and trailing arm mounts for rust creep, and check the exhaust emissions system and underfloor structural integrity for moisture-driven corrosion common on aged leisure vehicles. The clean MOT history offers reassurance, but the same-day fail-and-pass entries in 2023 and 2024 warrant confirmation that no suppressed advisories exist on the DVSA backend.
