2012 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · JM12 SPM

The 2012 Fiat Ducato shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 30 September 2025 at 35,839 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The prior day's failure at identical mileage listed no defects, pointing to a procedural rejection rather than component fault, and the immediate re-test cleared the vehicle. Across all available examinations from June 2023 onward, every result delivered a pass with zero advisories, confirming no worsening or recurring mechanical issues. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a 14-year-old panel van. The tester logged 24,757 miles on 17 June 2023, then 30,360 miles on 2 July 2024, and 35,573 miles on 3 July 2025, representing roughly 5,600 and 5,200 annual increments. The final reading of 35,839 miles on 29 and 30 September 2025 added only 266 miles across three months. Such low averages near 2,560 miles per year suggest extended standing periods, though the absent record before 2023 leaves early wear unverified. Given the clean certificate history, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion common to older Ducatos. The tester noted no suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear, yet low mileage and intermittent use can conceal perished rubber components and binding calipers not apparent in a brief test. Examine exhaust emissions hardware for idle degradation and check tyre sidewalls for age cracking rather than tread loss.
