2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · FX13 APZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 at 45,319 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2025-02-28 (39,737 miles) and 2024-02-21 (34,994 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on the same date (2024-02-21) recorded no defects. This suggests either a technical anomaly or a minor non-defect failure, but the absence of recorded faults in subsequent tests implies the issue was resolved. The maintenance trend shows consistency, with no escalating concerns over the past three years. The mileage of 45,319 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 3,486 annual miles, which is below average for the vehicle’s age. A notable jump from 29,426 miles (2023-03-14) to 34,994 miles (2024-02-21) covers 5,568 miles in 11 months, followed by gradual increases to 39,737 miles (2025-02-28) and 45,319 miles (2026-03-02). These figures suggest intermittent use, potentially leading to component stiffness or fluid degradation. The sparse defect history does not reveal recurring mechanical issues, but the low mileage may mask wear in systems like suspension bushes or brake discs. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and wishbones, as low mileage can obscure gradual wear. The absence of exhaust emissions data in the records warrants checking the catalytic converter and lambda sensors. Structural integrity should be verified, as rust or corrosion is not flagged in the MOTs but remains a risk for older vehicles. The failed 2024 test, though unexplained, highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
