2005 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · FN55 AFZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean pass in the most recent test on 15 November 2025 at 45,354 miles. This follows a pass in November 2024 at 45,120 miles where the tester flagged slight play in the offside front wheel bearing. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the wheel bearing issue was addressed or has not progressed to a failure state. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2005 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,160 miles per year. The data shows very slow progression, moving from 41,499 miles in November 2020 to 45,354 miles in November 2025. While this indicates minimal drivetrain wear, such low usage often implies the vehicle spends significant time stationary. This pattern can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids that mileage alone does not reflect. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and chassis. The May 2015 test recorded corrosion on a brake pipe, a stiff brake load sensing valve, and a corroded clutch hydraulic pipe. Although these issues appear resolved based on subsequent clean tests, the history suggests a susceptibility to corrosion in hydraulic lines and the exhaust system. It is vital to inspect the underside for structural rust and ensure all brake lines are free from pitting or degradation. The record also shows minor issues with consumables, such as a perished offside rear tyre in May 2017. Given the low annual mileage, you must check the manufacture dates on all tyres to ensure they are not perishing due to age rather than tread wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and various rubber seals, as the long periods of inactivity indicated by the mileage history can cause these components to perish or seize.
