2011 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · NA03 AJO

This vehicle is in an exceptionally stable condition regarding its roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 5 March 2026 at 18,527 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 1,235 miles per year. The record shows the vehicle covered only 57 miles between the October 2021 test at 13,778 miles and the June 2023 test at 13,835 miles. Such prolonged periods of inactivity often pose more risk to a vehicle than high mileage, as standing can lead to seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, and battery degradation. A physical inspection should focus on components that deteriorate regardless of mileage. The buyer must check for tyre perishing or flat-spotting due to the low usage patterns. I recommend a thorough check of the brake discs for surface corrosion and a test of the suspension bushes to ensure the rubber has not dried out and cracked. The absence of any advisories regarding structural corrosion or exhaust emissions over the last five years is a positive indicator. However, because the MOT record is unusually clean, the buyer should verify the service history to ensure oil changes were performed on a time basis rather than a mileage basis to prevent internal engine sludge.
