2013 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · RF13 LFN

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT inspection on 22 October 2025 at 16,768 miles, confirming a generally stable mechanical condition despite its age. The maintenance record remained largely defect-free between 2021 and 2024, though the latest test identified emerging wear on suspension components. The tester flagged both nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes as slightly perished, alongside a faded nearside front headlamp. These advisories indicate the vehicle is transitioning from a clean bill of health to one requiring minor attention, yet no dangerous or major faults currently threaten roadworthiness. Usage intensity has been consistently low throughout the vehicle's life, averaging approximately 1,300 miles per year. The odometer progression from 12,444 miles in October 2021 to 16,768 miles by October 2025 shows steady, infrequent use rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden spikes. This pattern suggests the vehicle has likely been used for light duties or leisure, reducing mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine components compared to a commercial workhorse. A physical inspection should prioritise the front suspension arm bushes noted as perished in the 2025 test to check if the rubber has deteriorated further since October. Verify the nearside front headlamp aim and clarity, as fading can compromise night-time visibility. Although the parking brake efficiency passed in 2021, the record notes it only just met the minimum standard, so testing the handbrake mechanism and cable condition is advisable to ensure corrosion has not set in during periods of low usage.
