2018 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · LF68 ABZ

The current roadworthiness status of this Fiat Ducato remains stable and clean, as evidenced by the most recent pass on 3 April 2025 at 91,639 miles. The vehicle successfully cleared this inspection without a single recorded defect or advisory, indicating that the mechanical health has remained consistent over the last few years. While the 2022 test history shows a same-day failure followed by a pass, the absence of specific defect data suggests the issue was likely a minor administrative or easily rectified oversight rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered 91,639 miles over eight years, averaging approximately 11,455 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent with typical commercial vehicle duty cycles. The mileage accumulation between 2021 and 2022, where the odometer increased by 22,645 miles, suggests a period of more intensive use compared to the 26,914 miles added between the 2022 and 2025 tests. This indicates a deceleration in annual mileage over the last three years, which may point to a change in the vehicle's operational role or a reduction in long-distance haulage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the high-wear components common to this chassis, specifically the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs. Even with clean MOT records, the heavy-duty nature of the Ducato often leads to accelerated wear on the front lower wishbone bushes and steering rack gaiters. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the chassis rails, as these areas are prone to oxidation in older commercial vehicles. Verify that the parking brake holds firmly on an incline, as cable stretch is a frequent maintenance item that might not always trigger an MOT advisory until it exceeds tolerance levels.
