2002 Auto-Trail Ducato 11 Mwb Jtd Tracker — MOT failures & pass rate
314 MOT tests on the 2002 Auto-Trail Ducato 11 Mwb Jtd Tracker are in this dataset, and 71.3% of them passed. Against all cars of a similar age (27.4% fail rate), the 2002 Ducato 11 Mwb Jtd Tracker comes out 1.3pp worse. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, suspension and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (12.7%) and suspension (11.5%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are service brake performance, component mounting prescribed areas and sub-frame mounting prescribed areas — service brake performance alone was recorded 36 times.
Brakes is the most common advisory, noted on 29.3% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.
The trend is worsening — 25.4% of tests failed in 2021 against 30.6% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2002 Ducato 11 Mwb Jtd Tracker
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: lighting & signalling accounted for 12.7% of tests. Start there.
- Lighting & signalling (12.7% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Suspension (11.5% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
- Brakes (9.2% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
