2018 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · YN18 AOL

The most recent MOT on 9 February 2026 at 20,413 miles passed, yet the tester flagged tyre damage – cracking and perishing on all four wheels (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). This advisory repeats the finding from the 13 May 2025 test, indicating a persistent, albeit non‑fatal, issue rather than an emerging mechanical fault. Overall the vehicle remains road‑worthy, but the tyre condition shows a slight deterioration trend that merits attention. Mileage has risen to 20,413 miles over eight years, averaging roughly 2,550 miles per annum – markedly low for a 2018 model. The record shows a steady climb: 5,262 miles in May 2021, 8,278 miles a year later, 9,735 miles in June 2023, 11,711 miles in April 2024, a jump to 16,616 miles by May 2025, and 20,413 miles by February 2026. The most rapid increase occurred between May 2025 and February 2026 (+3,797 miles in nine months), but even that remains modest, suggesting limited wear on drivetrain and suspension components. A prospective buyer should examine the tyre set closely, confirming tread depth, uniform wear, and the extent of cracking reported. Visual inspection of suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable to rule out corrosion or fatigue that can develop during long periods of low use. Brake discs and pads should be checked for thickness and any glazing, as low mileage does not guarantee brake health. Finally, a walk‑around for chassis rust, especially around wheel arches and underbody, will confirm that no hidden structural issues have been missed despite the clean MOT history.
