This 2002 Auto-Trail Ducato is notably weaker than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 74.5% against the national 80% benchmark—and nearly four in ten examples have recorded a dangerous defect during their MOT history, which is a serious red flag for a vehicle of this age and type. The diesel engine itself isn't the issue (pass rate 74.4%), so the problems lie elsewhere in the motorhome structure or systems.

These vehicles are running relatively low mileage for their age (median 37,789 miles), yet they're still averaging 5.2 failures and 28 advisories per test, suggesting that age and storage conditions matter more than miles for this leisure vehicle category. Before viewing one, commission a full independent MOT history check and specifically investigate any dangerous defect records, then budget for immediate remedial work on the chassis, braking, or structural elements that typically plague older motorhomes.
