2004 Fiat Doblo Cargo 1.9L Diesel · LC04 VEX

The most recent MOT entry on 24 June 2024 records a pass at 128 320 miles, although a concurrent fail is noted on the same date with no defects logged. The repeated pattern of paired pass/fail outcomes in July 2023 and July 2022, each with no recorded faults, indicates a stable maintenance trend rather than a progressive decline in condition. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a vehicle of this age. Between the July 2022 test at 122 933 miles and the July 2023 test at 126 167 miles the odometer rose 3 234 miles, and the increase to 128 320 miles by June 2024 added only 2 153 miles. This slowing rate of mileage gain, combined with the three‑year gap between test dates, reflects low annual usage and a relatively sparse inspection schedule. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct hands‑on checks of the braking system—examining disc thickness, pad wear and caliper operation—inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or hardening, and assess the exhaust for corrosion. Tyre tread depth and pressure should be verified, as should steering rack play and the condition of the cargo‑area floor and chassis welds for rust. A visual inspection of battery terminals and a functional test of the heating and cooling systems will also reveal any latent issues not captured by the MOT.
