2004 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · WX04 HCL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 15 March 2025 at 77,513 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. This streak suggests that the current owner has proactively maintained the vehicle, avoiding the common mechanical failures typically seen in older commercial vans of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old Fiat, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between February 2022 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 12,044 miles, showing a consistent and moderate usage pattern rather than long periods of total neglect followed by heavy load. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the accumulation of moisture in fluids, which are not always captured in a standard MOT emissions test. Despite the clean digital record, a physical inspection must focus on structural integrity and age-related wear common to the Ducato platform. A buyer should examine the chassis for corrosion, particularly along the sills and suspension mounting points, as low mileage does not prevent oxidation if the vehicle sits in damp environments. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished, as these materials become brittle over decades regardless of distance driven. Additionally, check the brake system for pitting or caliper seizing, as low-use vehicles often suffer from uneven wear on the discs and pads.
