Fiat Ducato 15 JTD LWB 2006 2.8L Turbo Diesel

Description

This old-school Fiat Ducato 15 JTD, 2006 model, has been quietly kept in good shape over the years. I’ve had it for a while now, mostly on the road and just a few miles a week, so it’s actually pretty well maintained — all the paperwork and manuals are still in the glovebox. Got it serviced recently, MOT passed, and the cam belt was replaced. It’s now rated at 3.5 tonnes, so it’s strong enough for the jobs I’ve been doing.

The thing is, it’s not just a van — it’s more of a living space. It’s only 5.5 metres long, so it’s not too big to park or manoeuvre. Inside, there’s a big sofa that converts into a double bed, a shower cubicle with a washbasin and flushing toilet, and a large roof light. All the windows have fly screens and day/night shades, and I’ve got a solar windshield cover too.

The roof has a solar panel and two leisure batteries, so it’s self-sufficient when I’m out. There’s a TV with a sound bar, a fully equipped kitchen with a 4-burner hob, oven, microwave, fold-away table, and a three-way fridge. The cab has electric windows, a large awning, and headlight covers — just a few little touches I’ve added over time.

I’ve got a bike rack, a tow bar, and a refillable gas bottle with an external filler. The radio and CD player still work fine, and there’s a walnut dash effect that gives it a bit of charm. Reversing aid is included, and I’ve got quality sleeping bags, cutlery, pots and pans, and a fire extinguisher.

There’s even a full set of Timberland carpets — I’ve kept them clean and in good condition. Leveling ramps are included too.

It’s currently sitting at Wemyss Bay, Greenock Road. I’m not selling it for a lot — it’s more of a personal project, and I’m letting it go because I’ve moved on. It’s been a solid companion for years, and I’m happy to pass it on.

If you’re interested, I’ll give you a quick chat — no pressure, just a real talk about what it’s like to live in a van.
