2002 Fiat Ducato 2.0L Diesel · PN52 WFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 29,196 miles, it failed just one month prior due to multiple defects including non-functional lighting, an ineffective offside windscreen wiper, and perished tyres. This pattern suggests that safety-critical items are only addressed when they trigger an MOT failure, which can lead to deteriorating mechanical standards between service intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 1,216 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the May 2023 test at 28,552 miles and the May 2026 test at 29,196 miles, representing just 644 miles covered over three years. Such low usage often implies long periods of standing, which frequently accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid integrity regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the record shows 2014-dated tyres are twelve years old and showing signs of cracking and perishing. The 2023 failure regarding low parking brake efficiency indicates that the braking system may suffer from seized components or stretched cables due to inactivity or lack of use. Additionally, the 2022 note regarding brake pipes being covered in underseal warrants a physical check to ensure that corrosion is not hidden beneath the protective coating, which is a common issue on Ducato models of this era.
