2005 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · HX55 GHB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 39,338 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just six days prior at 39,337 miles. This brief failure suggests a minor rectifyable item, likely a blown bulb or a minor adjustment, which was addressed immediately rather than indicative of a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,873 miles per year. Between April 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,872 miles, indicating it is used for very short-distance trips or has sat stationary for extended periods. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts such as seals, hoses, and suspension bushes, as well as potential surface-corrosion on the brake discs. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the chassis and sills, as age-related Fiat Ducatos are prone to corrosion that may not manifest until significant decay occurs. Given the low mileage, check the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, which occur from dry rot rather than tread wear. Ensure the brake calipers operate freely and are not seized due to lack of use, as this is a common issue with vehicles following this specific mileage profile.
