2006 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · GX06 DSV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing MOT examinations. The most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 30,894 miles resulted in an initial failure for an ineffective offside windscreen wiper, which was immediately rectified to secure a pass on the same day. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained clean passes through 2024 and 2023, indicating that mechanical structural components remained within acceptable tolerances during those periods. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old van, averaging approximately 1,545 miles per year. Between the January 2022 test and the July 2025 test, the vehicle covered only 3,328 miles over three and a half years. This extremely low usage suggests the vehicle sits for long periods or is used only for occasional trips. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and internal corrosion due to lack of airflow. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of components most affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for corrosion and seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to pads seizing to the rotors. Examine the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or flat spotting, which occurs due to age rather than distance driven. Given the age of the Ducato, a close look at structural rust on the sills and chassis members is essential, as the low mileage does not prevent oxidation over two decades.
