2007 Fiat Doblo 1.4L Petrol · GF07 LPZ

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-23 resulted in a failure with 105,434 miles. Key issues included severe corrosion in suspension mounting areas (both nearside and offside rear), which significantly reduces structural strength, and multiple exhaust leaks. The windscreen washer and wiper system were non-functional, and the nearside rear door could open inadvertently. A tyre over 10 years old was also noted. These defects highlight critical safety risks, particularly with structural integrity and visibility. Recurring mechanical patterns include suspension component corrosion and drive shaft boot issues . Since 2024, corrosion in suspension mountings and sills has been consistently recorded, worsening over time. The nearside rear suspension mounting was described as "excessively corroded" in 2026, compared to "worn but not resulting in excessive movement" in 2025. Drive shaft constant velocity boots have failed multiple times, indicating potential neglect or repeated damage. The trend shows worsening conditions , particularly with corrosion and suspension wear.
