2006 Fiat Ducato 2.8L Diesel · MX06 AOP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted in May 2025 at 88,928 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just three days prior at the same mileage. This specific failure suggests a minor or avoidable issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since 2022, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any advisories for mechanical wear or structural corrosion. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old van, averaging approximately 4,446 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 8,213 miles, indicating very light annual use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the age of the vehicle remains a significant factor for material-related decay. Long standing times for a vehicle of this age can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of mechanical parts regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as Ducatos of this era are prone to corrosion that may not always manifest during standard MOT tests. Given the low usage, inspect the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or perished-rot caused by age rather than friction. Check the braking system for surface pitting on the discs and binding calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from moisture-induced rust in the braking assembly. Ensure all fluid levels are correct and that the engine shows no signs of leaks from long periods of standing.
