2012 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · OU12 AGE

The 2012 Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 October 2025 at 34,918 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in 2024 and 2023 alongside two anomalous fails on the same test dates that carried no recorded defects, indicating administrative rather than mechanical rejection. No worsening faults, advisories, or recurring wear patterns appear in the data. Recorded mileage sits at 34,918 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 2,494 miles per year. The vehicle covered only 798 miles between the October 2023 test at 30,376 miles and the October 2024 test at 31,174 miles, then 3,744 miles to the October 2025 test. Such low, irregular accumulation suggests extended standing periods interspersed with light use rather than sustained commercial operation. The sparse record shows no gaps beyond the annual cycle and no rapid wear-driven failures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the long idle intervals that accelerate perished rubber and seized calipers. The twin fails dated 31 October 2023 and 30 October 2025 with zero defects point to documentation errors at the testing station, not owner neglect, yet the absence of advisories means corrosion and exhaust emissions were within limits at each visit and warrant verification now. Prior owners clearly kept basic statutory testing current, but the minimal mileage means consumables like tyres and wiper blades may have aged beyond safe life without logging wear. Inspect for structural rust on chassis members and check that brake hydraulics remain free after standing. The clean record supports a sound purchase if the van passes a hands-on check of dormant-component condition.
