2018 Fiat Doblo 1.2L Diesel · CU68 FFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring failure to address rear suspension corrosion. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 73,808 miles passed, the inspector noted corrosion on both rear shock enough and both rear coil springs. This mirrors the defects found in the 2023 test at 72,699 miles, indicating that while the parts were likely replaced, the underlying environmental factors remain present. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between October 2022 (59,189 miles) and October 2023 (72,697 miles), during which time the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. Since then, usage has slowed considerably, with only 1,152 miles recorded between the November 2024 test and the January 2026 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly to assess the extent of rust on the springs and dampers. Given that these components were flagged as corroded in both 2023 and 2026, it is vital to verify if the current parts are new or showing structural degradation. Additionally, the history shows a pattern of uneven tyre wear and low tread in 2022 and 2023, which suggests the suspension alignment should be checked to ensure the geometry is not causing premature consumable failure.
