2006 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · SV06 AMK

The 2006 Fiat Ducato presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2026-04-02 at 30,448 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recent test history. The most recent failure on 2026-03-23 at 30,427 miles recorded no defects, and the vehicle passed nine days later with no advisories, suggesting the earlier rejection may have involved administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a genuine fault. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also returned passes with no defects logged. The recorded mileage of 30,448 at the April 2026 test shows exceptionally low use for a twenty-year-old van, averaging roughly 1,522 miles per year. The odometer moved only 981 miles between the August 2023 pass at 29,467 miles and the August 2024 pass at 30,416 miles, then crept up just 32 miles to the 2026 tests. Such minimal accumulation points to long periods of standing or very light local duties, though the DVSA data contains no advisories on corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions to confirm the mechanical condition underneath. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, since MOT records with zero advisories on a low-mileage, aged vehicle do not rule out hidden rust from prolonged storage. The binding calipers, coil springs, and tyre condition should be checked despite no tester flags, as standing vehicles commonly develop seized brakes and flat-spotted rubber. The repeated 2023 and 2026 fail-pass pairs with no defects logged warrant confirmation that no outstanding recall or paperwork issue affects the van.
