Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Fiat Ducato passed its most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 128,981 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test from 2023 to 2025. Recorded mileage rose from 119,745 in the 21 September 2023 test to 122,771 by 17 September 2024, then to 128,981 by 17 September 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year over the last two intervals, well below the 7,166 annual average for the vehicle's age. The low recent use suggests lighter running, though the sparse record gives limited insight into component condition between tests. Two failed tests on 9 September 2025 and 17 September 2024 show no recorded defects, meaning both failures stemmed from administrative or unlogged non-mechanical causes rather than worn tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes. The clean pass on 17 September 2025 confirms the tester raised no concerns on structural integrity, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at 128,981 miles. A buyer should still inspect the Ducato in person for age-related corrosion on chassis members and suspension mounting points, given the 2008 build year. Check coil springs, brake calipers, and drivetrain seals for deterioration from prolonged low-mileage standing. The absent advisories do not exempt a used 18-year-old van from physical wear on consumables and rubber components.
