2006 FIAT DOBLO1.2L Diesel

The 2006 Fiat Doblo shows a passed roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 25 August 2023 at 84,407 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record carries two anomalous failures on the same dates as passes in 2023 and 2020, both at identical mileages and with no defects logged. Such paired entries suggest administrative rejections or data anomalies rather than mechanical faults, but the buyer should confirm the reasons with DVSA, as the system shows the vehicle failing and passing on the same day twice. The mileage pattern is low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, totalling just 84,407 miles or roughly 4,220 per year. From the 9 October 2020 test at 80,122 miles to the 19 October 2021 test at 82,939 miles, the prior owner covered only 2,817 miles in thirteen months. The gap to the 25 August 2023 pass at 84,407 miles adds a further 1,468 miles across twenty-two months. This sparse, clean record with no advisories across five tests implies light use, likely with long stationary periods, and minimal mechanical interrogation by testers. Given the low mileage and absence of recorded advisories, the buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a Doblo of this age left standing can develop hidden rust despite a clean MOT. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant a hands-on check for binding or perishing from inactivity. The twin fail-pass entries on 9 October 2020 and 25 August 2023 demand clarification, since repeated same-day reversals without defects suggest either clerical error or an undocumented refusal reason that a buyer must not ignore.
