2009 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · YJ09 KTD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 21 July 2026 at 29,400 miles, which recorded no defects. This follows a period of minor maintenance issues, such as the misty headlamp lenses and a non-working marker light noted in the July 2025 test at 22,474 miles. While the vehicle has experienced intermittent failures related to lighting and visibility components, the trend shows a return to a clean certificate, suggesting that minor consumable and electrical issues are being addressed as they arise. The recorded mileage of 29,400 over approximately 17 years indicates exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 1,729 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, albeit slow, accumulation of mileage. Between July 2025 and July 2026, the vehicle covered 6,926 miles, which represents a significant increase compared to the previous year's 1,449-mile increment. This sudden uptick in usage should be monitored to ensure the vehicle remains mechanically sound after periods of potentially low activity. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and fluid integrity. The July 2020 test at 14,322 miles flagged surface corrosion on all brake discs, and while the vehicle has passed since then, the low mileage suggests the brakes may sit idle for long periods, which can lead to seized calipers or uneven pad wear. The June 2019 failure due to an excessive hydraulic fluid leak from the gearbox is a significant historical event. Although the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, a physical inspection of the gearbox housing and any signs of weeping or fluid residue is necessary to confirm this issue was fully resolved. The history also highlights recurring issues with lighting and visibility, specifically headlamp deterioration and wiper performance. Given the age of the vehicle and the intermittent failures regarding headlamp aim and lens clarity, a thorough check of the electrical connections and the condition of the headlight housings is advised. Additionally, because the vehicle has spent much of its life covering very low annual distances, a technician should inspect rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, for signs of perishing or age-related degradation that often accompanies low-use vehicles.
