Our Verdict
This 2018 Fiat Ducato is a reasonable buy if the airbag warning fault has been properly resolved, but approach with caution due to the recent MOT failure. Confirm the supplementary restraint system repair before purchase.
Before buying LX18ADO, obtain written proof that the SRS warning lamp fault from the 10 March 2026 MOT failure was correctly diagnosed and repaired, as the pass on 23 March 2026 should reflect this but does not detail the work done. Check for a full service history consistent with the 2,228-mile annual average, and verify the 2,287cc diesel engine has had regular oil and filter changes given its commercial use.
As a 2,287cc diesel Ducato first registered in March 2018, this van will fall into a higher VED band for pre-April 2018 diesels, likely around £335 annually, with insurance grouped for light commercial use. Real-world fuel economy for the 2.3-litre diesel is typically 30-38 mpg depending on load, and maintenance costs for brakes, tyres, and servicing run higher than a car. Estimated annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance is approximately £2,200-£2,800 based on average van use.
Inspect the dashboard for any supplementary restraint system warning lamp illumination, as this was the specific cause of the 10 March 2026 MOT failure at 43,112 miles, and confirm no fault codes remain stored. Check the bodywork on this white van for typical commercial marks given its 43,118 mileage, and examine brake condition given the 5,062-mile gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests. Review tyre tread and suspension bushes as no defects were noted in passes but age-related wear is possible on a 2018 vehicle.
The white 2018 Fiat Ducato LX18ADO has covered 43,118 miles over eight years, which is modest for a diesel van of this type. Its MOT history shows four passes and one failure, with the only failure on 10 March 2026 for a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault, rectified and passed 13 days later. No aggregate reliability data is available for this model, so assessment rests on the individual history provided.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Fiat Ducato to inform this assessment.
