2011 Fiat Doblo 1.2L Diesel · GF61 AEL

The 2011 Fiat Doblo’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-16 at 93,240 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since this date, leaving a 9-month gap as of 2026-07-20. Previous tests between 2023 and 2024 show mixed outcomes, including a failure on 2024-11-04 at 90,648 miles and a subsequent pass on 2024-11-06 at the same mileage. While no defects were recorded in these tests, the repeated failures without recorded issues suggest potential inconsistencies in testing or minor, unresolved faults. The absence of mechanical or structural warnings in the latest pass is positive but does not account for untested periods. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,240 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 6,216 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. However, the MOT history reveals irregular intervals: a 10-day gap between 2023-11-09 and 2023-10-30, followed by a 12-day gap between 2024-11-06 and 2024-11-04. These anomalies may indicate rushed or incomplete testing. The 2023-10-30 failure at 88,234 miles and subsequent pass on 2023-11-09 at 88,628 miles suggest potential short-term issues, though no specific defects were noted. The lack of detailed fault records limits a thorough assessment of recurring problems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components often degrade with age and mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural warnings in the MOTs is reassuring, but the vehicle’s 15-year age warrants scrutiny of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for wear. The long gap since the last MOT also necessitates a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm the car’s current condition, particularly for hidden faults not captured in the recorded tests.
