2014 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · SP14 AMK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 16 April 2026 at 33,707 miles, which returned a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a period of increased advisories in the previous year. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the mechanical issues flagged during the 2025 inspection have been addressed or have not recurred in the latest assessment. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Between August 2020 and August 2021, the vehicle covered 8,740 miles, but it saw a significant period of inactivity or much lower usage between 2021 and 2023. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the record suggests the vehicle may spend long periods stationary. This pattern often leads to the specific types of age-related degradation seen in the 2024 and 2025 MOT results. The MOT history highlights a recurring issue with tyre condition. Both the 2024 and 2025 tests flagged cracking or perishing on the front and offside rear tyres. Although the 2026 test shows no defects, a buyer should inspect all rubber components, including window seals and coolant hoses, for signs of dry rot caused by infrequent use. The 2025 test also identified a deteriorating nearside front CV boot and light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate the onset of wear in the suspension and drivetrain seals. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension integrity. The 2025 test noted pitted or scored front brake discs, and although the 2026 test was clear, the buyer should check for uneven pad wear or binding calipers. Given the history of CV boot deterioration and shock absorber misting, a thorough check of the constant velocity joints and the condition of the dampers is necessary to ensure no further leaks or play have developed.
