2007 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · FX56 MKU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness status is currently unacceptable for its age, as the MOT record demonstrates a clear deterioration in mechanical condition. The most recent test on 2025-07-08 at 45,938 miles failed, indicating that the car is no longer roadworthy despite being approximately 19 years old. This failure occurred after a period of only 4,056 miles, which suggests that the owner has been neglecting routine maintenance, likely leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the vehicle's age and its recorded usage. At 19 years old, the car has only accumulated 45,938 miles, which is considered low for such an old vehicle and indicates that the owner has been maintaining the car with minimal effort or perhaps relying on long periods of standing rather than active driving. This lack of maintenance has resulted in the severe deterioration of the offside front outer drive shaft joint, the nearside headlamp lenses, and the lower suspension arm ball joints, all of which have now become binding or excessively worn. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the car in person for structural integrity and wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts. The recurring faults observed in the MOT history include binding rear brakes, repeater failure, excessive wear on suspension bushings, and a non-clearing windscreen wiper. These issues indicate that the vehicle has suffered from a pattern of neglected upkeep that has degraded the mechanical structure, requiring immediate professional diagnosis and replacement of parts to restore roadworthiness.
