2010 Fiat Doblo 1.9L Diesel · NK10 FZM

The vehicle presents a functional roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative care. In the most recent test in March 2023 at 131,962 miles, the vehicle passed despite several advisories regarding the front braking system and suspension components. While the immediate failures have been addressed, the presence of play in the suspension arm ball joint and anti-roll bar ball joint suggests that the front end artwork is beginning to reach the end of its service life. The mileage pattern is inconsistent for a vehicle of this age. While the recorded total averages out to approximately 8,248 miles per year, there is a significant spike in usage between June 2021 (115,783 miles) and June 2022 (174,521 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 60,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation of mileage likely explains the accelerated wear observed on consumables, such as the tyres and wipers, and the mechanical stress-related ABS failure recorded during the June 2022 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The record shows a recurring issue with the front brakes, moving from excessively fluctuating discs in 2021 to pitted and scored discs in 2023; the buyer should verify if the discs and pads were actually replaced rather than merely cleaned. Furthermore, the noted play in the ball joints from the 2023 test and the previous failure of the offside front CV boot require a close look to ensure no further damage has occurred to the drivetrain or steering geometry.
