Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but generally a str
The primary focus for a buyer should be the recent history of parking brake issues. The vehicle failed in November 2024 due to an inoperative offside parking brake and failed again in August 2026 due to both a damaged nearside rear brake cable and insufficient parking brake efficiency. You should ask for receipts to confirm that the brake cable and the handbrake mechanism were actually replaced or repaired following these failures.
Because the mileage is so low (13,157 miles), you should also investigate whether the vehicle has been subject to 'low usage' issues, such as tyre flat-spotting or battery degradation. Check the service history to see if oil changes were performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage, as this is critical for diesel engines that sit idle for long periods.
As a 2.3L diesel motorhome, running costs will be higher than a standard car. Expect moderate fuel economy, typically ranging between 25-35 mpg depending on load and driving style. The 2287cc engine is a common diesel unit, meaning parts are generally available, though specialist motorhome maintenance can be more expensive than standard van servicing.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific weight of the motorhome conversion, but you should budget for a higher insurance group typical of leisure vehicles. Annual running costs, including fuel, anticipated maintenance, and tax, are estimated to be in the mid-to-high range for this vehicle class.
Specifically inspect the parking brake mechanism. The MOT history shows two failures (2024 and 2026) involving parking brake efficiency and cable damage. Ensure the handbrake feels firm and holds the vehicle securely on an incline.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. With only 13,157 miles on a 2017 vehicle, the tyres may have plenty of tread but could be aged and prone to cracking (perishing) due to age rather than wear. Check all external seals around the motorhome habitation area, as these can degrade if the vehicle is stored outdoors or used infrequently.
This 2017 Fiat Ducato Motorhome presents with exceptionally low mileage, having covered only 13,157 miles in approximately nine years. While the MOT history shows two recent failures related to the parking brake system, the vehicle has passed its most recent test in August 2026. The low usage suggests a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary, which is a key factor to consider.
