Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle lacks a current MOT certificate, as the last recorded test occurred on 6 March 2023. While that test resulted in a pass at 115,903 miles, the vehicle has been without a valid roadworthiness certificate for over three years relative to the current date of 25 July 2026. The maintenance trend appears erratic, evidenced by two failures in September 2022 and March 2023 immediately preceding the final pass. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 28 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,139 miles per year. The record shows almost total stagnation in usage over the last four years. Between 21 August 2021 and 6 March 2023, the odometer moved only 1,830 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods standing, which often leads to perished rubber components and seized mechanical parts. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection for structural corrosion and chassis integrity, as these are common failure points for this era of Ducato and are not detailed in the sparse MOT data. The long periods of inactivity increase the risk of seized brake calipers, perished suspension bushes, and degraded tyre compounds regardless of tread depth. The absence of recorded defects during the 2023 pass is positive, but the lack of recent testing means the current mechanical state is unknown. Check for fluid leaks and battery health, as vehicles left dormant for years frequently suffer from seal shrinkage and electrical degradation.
