Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those seeking a
Prioritise reviewing the service records and invoices from 2024 and 2025. You should specifically look for evidence that the central exhaust leak and the insecure fastening clamps were fully repaired rather than patched, and that the front lower suspension arm bushes were replaced.
Confirm that the Macpherson strut mounting failure from July 2025 was addressed with a genuine part. Given the history of suspension wear, a test drive should focus on listening for knocks or rattles over uneven surfaces to ensure the current setup is stable.
Equipped with a 1368cc petrol engine, this vehicle will likely have higher fuel costs than its diesel counterparts, particularly for long-distance motorway use. However, petrol engines often avoid the complexities and costs associated with diesel particulate filters (DPF) in urban environments.
Insurance and road tax will be standard for a small commercial vehicle of this age. Maintenance costs are typically moderate, though the MOT history suggests a susceptibility to suspension and exhaust wear that may require periodic budgeting.
Carefully inspect the underside of the vehicle, specifically the central exhaust section, for signs of corrosion or weld repairs following the major leak and detached clamps recorded in 2024. Check for any signs of oil misting on the rear shock absorbers, as this was a noted failure point.
Pay close attention to the front suspension. The 2024 and 2025 records show issues with both the lower suspension arm bushes and the Macpherson strut mounting; ensure there is no excessive play in the steering or unusual vibration during braking.
This black 2017 Fiat Doblo has recorded 53,613 miles, which is below the expected average for its age. The MOT history shows a clean pass in July 2026, though the vehicle failed its tests in both 2024 and 2025. These failures were primarily focused on the exhaust system and various suspension components.
The Fiat Doblo has an average MOT pass rate of 76.1%, with exhaust issues being one of the top recorded failure reasons across the model range.
