2011 Fiat Doblo 1.2L Diesel · SA61 EEH

The vehicle currently stands in the grey zone for roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 2025-12-30 failing the MOT. This indicates that while the car has maintained its mechanical integrity since the previous year, a critical failure has occurred in the late winter, specifically involving the offside front wheel bearing and oil leaks. The failure date (2025-12-30) is approximately 1.5 years ago, placing the incident in the early 2024 timeframe, which aligns with the 2024-01-03 test failure. This suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a complete overhaul since the most recent failure, and the lack of a clean MOT certificate in December 2025 confirms that the mechanical condition has deteriorated. Regarding the mileage trend, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 5,709 miles annually, placing it at approximately 15 years old. The data shows a relatively stable mileage pattern with no significant acceleration or deceleration gaps between the 2023-01-02 and 2024-01-08 tests, which supports the conclusion that the vehicle has not been used in a way that would cause rapid wear on critical components. However, the presence of multiple failures in the 2025-12-30 and 2024-01-03 tests indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained in a way that prevents wear from occurring, and the mechanical condition has not been resolved. Given the recurring faults in the offside wheel bearings and ball joints, along with the oil leaks and structural integrity concerns, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and a binding condition on the offside front wheel bearing, which are serious mechanical risks that require immediate attention. The lack of a clean MOT certificate in December 2025 means that the vehicle has not been serviced to prevent further damage; any further driving is likely to result in a failure at the next test.
