1998 Fiat Ducato 2.5L Diesel · R595 BBP

The Fiat Ducato passed its most recent MOT on 19 August 2025 at 37,129 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle cleared every annual test once a minor re-test was completed. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear across the supplied history. Recorded mileage sits at 37,129 miles for a 28-year-old van, averaging roughly 1,326 miles per year. The August 2023 test at 32,382 miles and the August 2024 test at 36,911 miles show modest annual use of around 4,500 miles, then only 218 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. Such low, irregular accumulation suggests long standing periods rather than continuous wear. The MOT data itself is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues logged. The buyer should still inspect structural integrity and hidden rust on chassis rails and sills, given the vehicle's age and likely outdoor storage. Check suspension components including coil springs and wishbone bushes for perishing from inactivity. Verify brake calipers are not seizing after low-mileage dormancy. The two failed tests on 13 August 2025 and 5 August 2024 at identical mileages recorded no defects, pointing to administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Previous owners kept the drivetrain lightly used but a physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
