2010 Fiat Doblo 1.6L Diesel · FG60 WHS

The 2010 Fiat Doblo currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 28 November 2025 at 162,048 miles, with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record features two aborted tests. A failed test on 21 November 2025 at 162,013 miles listed no defects, mirroring an earlier abort on 14 August 2024 at 156,260 miles. These entries typically indicate administrative or pre-test issues, such as a missing fuel cap or an inability to open a door, rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle passed cleanly on the immediate retests, demonstrating that any initial issues were promptly rectified. The mileage accumulation has slowed considerably in recent years. Between the February 2023 test at 152,213 miles and the August 2024 test at 156,260 miles, the van covered just over 4,000 miles across an eighteen-month period. This extended gap between tests suggests the vehicle may have spent time standing or the owner delayed the annual inspection. Usage increased slightly to roughly 5,800 miles over the following fifteen months leading to the November 2025 test. While the overall average of 10,128 miles per year remains typical for a vehicle of this age, the recent drop in annual mileage raises questions about prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the mechanical components closely due to the van's age and mileage, despite the clean MOT record. Suspension bushes and coil springs often perish from standing still rather than wear, so check for cracking or sagging. Brake discs and calipers require thorough examination for surface corrosion and binding, common issues when a vehicle sits unused. The exhaust system and underbody must be checked for corrosion, as sixteen years of exposure takes a toll on structural integrity. Tyre condition warrants attention; low recent mileage increases the risk of flat-spotting or perishing sidewalls. Verify the operation of all locks and hinges, given the previous aborted tests likely stemmed from such minor access issues.
