2016 Fiat Doblo 1.4L Petrol · GU66 GKF

The 2016 Fiat Doblo is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance history showing consistent MOT passes over the past five years. The most recent test on 2025-11-21 confirmed this status at 40,236 miles, with only a minor defect noted: corrosion on the rear exhaust box. This suggests the vehicle has been kept in reasonable condition, with no major mechanical or safety issues flagged during inspections. The mileage progression shows a very low annual average of approximately 4,024 miles per year, which is well below the typical UK average for vehicles of this age. The consistent, gradual increase in mileage between tests—each around 700–800 miles apart—indicates minimal use and likely infrequent driving. There are no signs of sudden mileage jumps or long gaps between MOTs, which could suggest periods of inactivity or poor upkeep. The absence of defects in the 2024 and 2023 tests further supports the impression of careful ownership and regular servicing. Despite the overall positive history, the recurring corrosion on the rear exhaust box warrants attention. This is a common issue in older vans, especially in wetter climates, and while not an immediate safety risk, it may worsen over time and lead to exhaust leaks or reduced performance. Buyers should also inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to wear in low-mileage vehicles that have been stationary for long periods. Brake systems should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as infrequent use can affect brake caliper function. Finally, a thorough visual inspection of the underbody for any signs of structural rust or damage is recommended, especially around the rear wheel arches and chassis rails.
