2006 Fiat Ducato 15 JTD LWB 2.3L Diesel · RNZ 8482

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT record, with the most recent test conducted on 28 March 2023 at 32,255 miles resulting in a pass with no defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has consistently cleared inspections without advisories since 2018. The absence of recorded faults over the past four tests suggests that the mechanical systems were in good working order at the time of each inspection. The recorded mileage of 32,255 miles over a twenty-year lifespan is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 1,613 miles per annum. While the data shows a steady, light usage pattern between 2018 and 2023, the lack of an MOT test record since March 2023 means the vehicle has been off the road for over fifteen months. This extended period of inactivity poses risks related to seized components, perished rubber seals, and potential fuel system degradation, which are common in vehicles that remain stationary for long durations. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis, as Fiat Ducato models of this era are prone to hidden corrosion that may not be captured during a standard test. You should specifically check the brake discs and calipers for signs of surface rust or binding, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized braking hardware due to infrequent use. Inspect all flexible hoses and suspension bushes for signs of dry rot or cracking, and verify that the engine starts cleanly after its prolonged period of storage.
