2013 Fiat Doblo 1.4L Petrol · LR63 BYC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 89,069 miles. While the car initially failed the test on that date due to a non-operative nearside stop lamp, this minor electrical fault was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The clean result from the 2024 test at 79,830 miles indicates that the mechanical and structural integrity remained sound after the repairs identified in the previous year. At 89,069 miles over 13 years, the Fiat Doblo averages approximately 6,850 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 9,200 miles covered in the following year. This mileage regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary, which often leads to accelerated rubber degradation and seized braking components. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking systems which showed multiple issues in late 2023. The tester previously flagged a fractured nearside front coil spring and a worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, necessitating a check for current play or uneven wear. While the front brake pads and discs were noted as worn at 67,854 miles, the buyer must verify that these components have been replaced and that there are no signs of binding calipers or excessive thinning. The exhaust system also showed a minor leak and flexi damage in late 2023, which should be examined to ensure corrosion has not progressed into a structural failure. Additionally, the history of perishing tyres and a low tread depth failure on the offside front suggests that previous owners occasionally neglected basic consumable maintenance. Inspect all four tyre sidewalls for cracking and ensure the current set meets legal tread requirements across the entire axle.
