2011 Fiat Doblo Cargo 1.9L Diesel · SA61 EEB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural and suspension components. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 117,155 miles, the report introduced significant structural concerns that were not present in previous years. The presence of corrosion on the nearside front lower integral body structure and the outer sill panel suggests the vehicle is beginning to suffer from age-related rust, even though the tester noted structural rigidity is not yet fully compromised. The mileage pattern is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a notable two-year gap in records between June 2022 and 2024, during which the vehicle covered roughly 5,500 miles. Since then, usage has increased, with over 11,000 miles recorded in the two years leading up to the 2026 test. This recent recent use correlates with the accelerated wear seen on components, such as the steering rack and tyre issues identified in the 2025 and 2026 tests. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension systems. The record shows persistent issues with the steering rack inner joints appearing in both 2024 and 2025, followed by new reports of worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes in 2026. Furthermore, the nearside rear service brake only just met the legal requirement, indicating the braking system is nearing a required adjustment or overhaul. The reported oil leak in May 2026 should also be monitored to ensure it does not escalate into a significant mechanical failure.
