2007 Fiat Ducato 2.2L Diesel · WM07 NXD

The 2007 Fiat Ducato currently holds a valid MOT that expired on 14 March 2025, meaning the vehicle has been without a current certificate for over a year as of June 2026. The most recent test, conducted on 15 March 2024 at 118,257 miles, resulted in a failure despite the record showing no defects, which is an anomaly worth clarifying with the supplying garage. The preceding pass on 6 March 2023 at 114,709 miles was clean, and the overall maintenance trend appears broadly stable across the documented history, with no recurring mechanical or structural advisories flagged by any tester. The vehicle has covered roughly 6,224 miles per year across its nineteen-year life, which is typical for a commercial van of this age and suggests consistent rather than intensive use. The mileage progression is steady: 111,177 miles in March 2022, 114,709 miles by February 2023, and 118,257 miles by March 2024, indicating approximately 3,500 miles per annum in recent years. That is a modest annual accumulation, pointing toward local or light-duty operation rather than high-frequency long-distance work. No suspicious gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record, and the odometer readings align plausibly with the test dates. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should treat the March 2024 failure seriously and establish exactly why the van was refused a certificate. On a Ducato of this age and mileage, the most common failure points include corroded brake lines, worn suspension bushes, deteriorated handbrake cables, and structural corrosion around the subframe mounts, wheel arches, and load floor. The dual failure and pass entries at the same 114,709-mile reading in February and March 2023 suggest a minor defect was identified and rectified within a week, which is a positive indicator of responsive ownership. A hands-on inspection should focus on the condition of the front suspension lower arms and rear leaf spring mounting points, the integrity of the exhaust system and DPF if fitted, and the operation of all brake calipers for signs of binding. Given the van has sat without a valid MOT for over a year, a fresh test should be arranged before any purchase is finalised to confirm the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards.
