2004 Fiat Ducato 2.3L Diesel · YR54 ABZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the certification status is currently lapsed by nearly five years. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2021 at 141,043 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle was in good mechanical condition at that time. However, because no tests have been recorded since that date, the current state of the structural integrity and safety components cannot be verified, suggesting a high risk of accumulated degradation due to the long period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per annum. Between September 2019 and September 2020, the vehicle covered 11,897 miles, which represents a higher period of use. The interval between September 2020 and September 2021 shows a slight drop to 9,223 miles before the vehicle fell out of service. This relatively low mileage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but the significant gap in recent testing often leads to rubber perishation and corrosion of brake lines. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and load members, as older Ducato models are prone to structural rust in the sills and suspension mounting points. The history shows failures in 2019 and 2020 shortly before passing, which often indicates minor issues like light bulbs or exhaust emissions that were rectified quickly. Given the vehicle has likely sat for several years, the inspector should check for seized brake calipers, degraded fuel, and perished tyre sidewalls which are common in long-term stationary vehicles.
