2018 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · LX18 ADO

The 2018 Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2026-03-23 at 43,118 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across its recorded history. The only blemish came on 2026-03-10, when the tester failed the van at 43,112 miles for a supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicating a fault under item 7.1.6 (a). The owner corrected this within thirteen days and secured the pass, so no structural, brake, or suspension defects have ever been logged. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old vehicle, totalling 43,118 miles or roughly 5,390 per year. The records show steady, light use: 27,159 miles on 2023-02-14, 32,056 on 2024-02-12, 38,147 on 2025-03-07, and 43,112 by the March 2026 failure. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the clean pass sheets in 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumables and mechanical items within test limits, though the SRS lamp fault hints at deferred electrical diagnostics before sale. A buyer should still verify the airbag system in person, given the recent warning lamp fault, and confirm the repair cleared the fault code rather than merely resetting the dash. Low mileage vans of this type often stand idle for weeks, which accelerates tyre sidewall cracking, brake disc corrosion, and suspension bush perishing despite clean MOTs. Inspect the front coil springs, rear leaf bushes, and brake calipers for binding or seepage, and check the chassis rails for structural rust near the sills. The Ducato's galvanising holds reasonably well, but standing moisture and light use can hide early corrosion the tester did not flag at 43,118 miles.
