2002 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · GV02 JUY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in September 2024 at 75,850 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in August 2022, the vehicle has cleared three consecutive tests without advisory notices, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were rectified and have not recur. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 24 years age, averaging approximately 3,160 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2024, the vehicle covered only 6,669 miles, maintaining a trend of minimal usage. This low mileage suggests the van has either been used for short local trips or remained stationary for extended periods between tests. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluid corrosion due to lack of regular mechanical operation. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the chassis and floor members, as older Fiat Ducatos are prone to significant corrosion regardless of mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, the tester flagged a failure in 2022 at 70,965 miles which was resolved prior to the next test. Inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for cracking or perished rubber, as these parts age with time rather than distance. Check the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as stationary components often corrode during periods of inactivity.
