2014 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · HX14 FRL

This 2014 Fiat Ducato has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with no defects recorded in any of its five consecutive MOT tests. The most recent test on 2025-05-01—just 14 months ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, reinforcing a pattern of consistent compliance with UK MOT standards. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance beyond MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 16,261 miles over nearly 12 years equates to an average of just 1,355 miles annually, which is unusually low for a commercial vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are regular, with roughly 750 miles logged between each MOT from 2022 to 2025, indicating prolonged periods of inactivity rather than active use. This low mileage could imply storage or limited operational demands, which may have mitigated some wear, but it also raises questions about the vehicle’s exposure to environmental factors like corrosion or suspension degradation over time. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs—particularly in the rear, where binding or uneven wear is common in low-mileage vehicles. The brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or binding calipers. Structural integrity is another concern; despite the lack of MOT advisories, a thorough examination of wheel arches, sills, and underbody for corrosion is essential, especially given the vehicle’s age. Tyre condition, though not noted in the record, warrants verification, as the absence of tread-related failures could mask uneven wear or age-related degradation.
