2006 Fiat Doblo 1.2L Diesel · ML56 DVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 15 June 2022 at 127,234 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consistent results back to 2020, indicating that the vehicle maintained high operational standards during those later years. However, because the last MOT was performed nearly four years ago, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and requires an immediate inspection prior to any purchase. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,360 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between October 2017 and June 2020, where the vehicle covered only 11,668 miles over nearly three years. From 2020 to 2022, the mileage increased by just 827 miles annually. This pattern of low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or was used sparingly, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished brake fluid, and seized caliper pins despite the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on structural integrity and age-related component failure that the MOT does not capture. Given the age of the Fiat Doblo, check for significant corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans which are common to this model. The low mileage also necessitates a check for dry rot on tyres and perished suspension bushes that may have cracks. Since no tests have been recorded since 2022, the tester should specifically look for fluid leaks or exhaust system corrosion that may have developed during the extended period of inactivity.
