Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
Given the mileage and the specific failures recorded, you should request a full service history to see how maintenance has been managed alongside these MOT issues. Focus your negotiation on the fact that the vehicle has required several significant repairs to the suspension and braking systems in a relatively short period.
Ask the seller specifically about the replacement of the front brake discs and pads noted in 2024, and whether the suspension arm and coil spring issues identified in 2024 and 2025 have been fully addressed with high-quality parts. Because this is a diesel model with high mileage, checking the timing belt/cambelt interval is also essential.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Doblo is likely to offer reasonable fuel economy for a vehicle of its size, though actual figures will depend on load and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary, but you should check the specific bracket for the 1598cc engine.
Maintenance costs for this vehicle may be higher than average due to the observed frequency of suspension and brake component replacements. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, but budget for potential wear-and-tear items given the high annual mileage recorded.
You must pay close attention to the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a history of issues with coil springs (both nearside front in 2024 and both rears in 2025) and suspension arm bushes. Inspect the suspension for any signs of weeping from dampers or play in the joints.
Additionally, check the condition of the braking system. The 2024 MOT recorded worn and pitted front brake discs and thin pads. Ensure the current braking performance is smooth and without excessive noise. Finally, verify that the headlamp issue noted in the May 2026 failure has been rectified and that the lighting system is fully functional.
This 2018 black Fiat Doblo has covered 95,627 miles since its registration in May 2018, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,874 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to suspension components, such as coil springs and bushes, as well as braking wear. The most recent test in May 2026 was passed after a failure for a dipped beam headlamp issue.
Aggregate data from over 51,000 vehicles shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.1%, with common failures involving tyres, engine management, and exhausts.
