2008 Fiat Ducato 3.0L Diesel · SP08 DYG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable but reactive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 30 September 2025 at 64,358 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just five days prior. This pattern suggests that the owner is willing to address immediate compliance issues to maintain legality, rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The lack of advisories across the last three tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components inspected remain in satisfactory condition despite the vehicle's age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old commercial, averaging approximately 3,575 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 58,966 miles and the September 2025 test at 64,358 miles, the vehicle covered 5,392 miles in nineteen months. This consistent low-usage pattern suggests the Ducato likely performs short-distance trips or sits stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine-internal components, it often increases the risk of age-related failures such as the degradation of rubber seals, suspension bushings, and the corrosion of the chassis due to lack of road salt. The recurring failures in October 2024 and September 2025, followed immediately by passes, indicate minor component failures such as bulbs or wiper blades that were rectified quickly. Since the record shows no persistent mechanical faults, a buyer should still physically inspect for structural rust on common Fiat Ducato stress points and check if the brake calipers have seized or stiffened due to infrequent use. The clean record at this low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy loading cycles typically associated with vans of this class.
