2015 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · FX15 AAK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-05-19 at 17,747 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-05-15 at 17,713 miles showed a failure, though no specific defects were logged. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue resolved between tests. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical faults noted in the record. The absence of defects in the 2023-10-04 test at 17,430 miles and earlier tests indicates consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. The vehicle’s low mileage of 17,747 over 11 years equates to approximately 1,613 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This pattern implies infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion in untreated metal components or degrade rubber seals. Notably, a two-year gap exists between the 2023-10-04 test (17,430 miles) and the next at 2025-05-15 (17,713 miles), raising questions about maintenance continuity. The sparse defect history does not confirm whether this gap coincided with unresolved issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for signs of dry rot or wear, given the low usage. The braking system, including rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles may develop such issues from inactivity. Structural integrity should also be verified, as prolonged standing can lead to underbody corrosion. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect reports limits definitive conclusions about the vehicle’s mechanical health.
