2013 Fiat Doblo 1.4L Petrol · DS63 CKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding specific mechanical components. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 38,064 miles, the vehicle initially failed due to a major rear exhaust leak and a failure to complete emissions testing. While it passed the re-test, the persistence of a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush indicates that a recurring issue is being monitored rather than fully rectified across multiple inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered only 3,524 miles, suggesting long periods of inactivity or minimal use. The jump of 3,086 miles between 2024 and 2025 shows a slight increase in activity, though low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake seizing, which aligns with the suspension and exhaust faults noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension assembly, as the arm pin or bush has been flagged in three consecutive years since 2023. The exhaust system also requires close scrutiny for corrosion and to ensure the major leak identified in 2025 was properly replaced or replaced. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check brake discs for surface corrosion and calipers for binding, two common issues on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
