2003 Fiat Ducato 2.0L Diesel · SP03 JBU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on September 2025 at 62,406 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive but stable, showing a pattern of immediate rectification followed by successful passes. The vehicle failed in both August 2025 and August 2024, yet managed to pass within weeks thereafter. This suggests the previous owner addresses MOT-related faults only when necessitated by the annual testing process rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old van, averaging only approximately 2,700 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 2,586 miles, indicating long periods of infrequent use or stationary storage. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of component degradation. Rubber elements such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyre carcasses often suffer from perish rot and flat spotting when a vehicle remains stationary for long durations without regular operation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as Fiat Ducato models of this era are prone to significant corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points. Despite the clean MOT record, the low usage does not protect against hidden structural rust that may not have been flagged during a standard visual check. Inspect the braking system for seized calipers or corroded discs, as low use frequently leads to surface-related sticking. Check all flexible rubber hoses for cracks and leaks to ensure the age of the components has not compromised their mechanical integrity despite the low mileage.
