2016 Fiat Doblo 1.2L Diesel · OW15 OOW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 62,152 miles passed, it resulted in multiple advisories regarding suspension and braking components. The transition from a failure to a pass in late 2024 shows the owner eventually addressed critical safety failures involving structural tyre tears and corroded springs, suggesting that components are only replaced once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 45,916 miles and October 2024 at 58,066 miles, the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles, showing steady usage. This relatively low annual mileage often contributes to accelerated corrosion of rubber components and metal components due to environmental exposure, which is evidenced by the recurring corrosion issues on the coil springs noted across multiple test years. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the suspension system, as the record shows a persistent history of corrosion on all four coil springs dating back to 2023. The October 2025 advisory for front inner brake discs that are pitted or scored indicates the braking system is nearing the end of its life. Additionally, the front oil leak noted in the latest test requires a physical check to determine if it is a minor seep or an active seal failure requiring immediate attention. The uneven wear on the offside front tyre also suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature replacement of new rubber.
