2004 Fiat Ducato 2.7L Diesel · PA04 FFJ

The vehicle currently maintains a stable state of roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT test showing a clean pass record. Despite a technical failure on 13 March 2026 at 79,720 miles, the vehicle passed the re-test just four days later at 79,732 miles with no recorded defects. This suggests a minor administrative error or a simple consumable fault that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The maintenance trend remains consistent across the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-two-year-old vehicle, averaging 3,600 miles per year. Between April 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 2,602 miles, while the period leading to April 2025 saw only 1,279 miles. This low usage indicates the vehicle has likely spent long periods stationary. However, such low mileage on a vehicle of this age often masks age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals, which do not wear out through use but perish over time due to oxidation despite the MOT inspections. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as the Fiat Ducato is prone to corrosion that may not manifest until it becomes significant. Given the low mileage, check the brake system for seized calipers or corroded discs which frequently occur when vehicles are used infrequently. Examine the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as these parts are susceptible to age regardless of the low odometer reading recorded on the history.
