2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · GX13 ALO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-05 at 45,945 miles resulted in a pass, with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-05-28 at the same mileage failed without any defects noted, suggesting a possible administrative or procedural error. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record in earlier years. The lack of recorded issues in the latest test implies the vehicle met current standards, but the abrupt failure in May 2025 raises questions about the reliability of the testing process or potential undetected faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 45,945 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 3,534 miles annually, which is below the typical usage for its age. This low mileage suggests infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness, corrosion, or fluid degradation. The MOT history shows annual testing intervals, with no significant gaps, but the repetition of the same mileage in 2025-05-28 and 2025-06-05 is unusual and may indicate a technical anomaly or misreporting. The absence of wear-related defects in earlier tests aligns with low mileage, though this does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking for signs of corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system and underbody, given the low usage pattern. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may require inspection for stiffness or wear due to limited operation. The braking system should be assessed for rusted discs or binding calipers, as infrequent use can exacerbate these issues. While the MOT records show no major faults, the vehicle’s age and mileage suggest that non-structural elements like tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels may need attention to ensure roadworthiness.
