2018 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · MA68 ADU

The 2018 FIAT DUCATO passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑11‑11 at 21 677 miles, but the test recorded several brake‑related advisories: front service brake fluctuation, rear service brake fluctuation, front brake disc worn (1.1.14 (a)(i)), and a stiff hand‑brake pivot. The vehicle’s maintenance trend shifted from clean records in 2022‑2024 to these brake issues in the latest test, indicating a worsening condition in the braking system rather than an improving one. Mileage accumulation shows a low average of roughly 2 710 miles per year over the vehicle’s life, which is light for an eight‑year‑old van. However, the jump from 14 135 miles (2024‑10‑02) to 21 677 miles (2025‑11‑11) represents a rapid increase of 7 542 miles in about 13 months, suggesting heavier recent use or a possible mileage discrepancy. The MOT entries are recent, with the latest test only nine months old as of 2026‑08‑07, keeping the vehicle within the typical annual testing window. A buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly: examine the front brake discs for excessive wear, test rear brake operation for consistent pressure, and verify the hand‑brake pivot’s movement for stiffness. The nearside front tyre, previously noted worn close to the legal limit in 2021, requires careful tread depth assessment. Also check the seat configuration, as missing passenger seats were recorded in earlier tests, and perform a visual scan for corrosion or rust on chassis components given the vehicle’s age.
