2008 Fiat Doblo 1.9L Diesel · SV58 TGX

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward increasing mechanical and structural degradation. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 147,317 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories regarding binding brakes, an exhaust leak, and tyre wear. This represents a move away from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, suggesting the vehicle is now entering a phase where aging components require more frequent attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eighteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the vehicle covered 8,353 miles, maintaining a steady rate of use. The most notable gap occurred in 2022 when the vehicle failed its initial test at 126,775 miles before being retested eight days later. This failure indicates a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care to address the high emissions and suspension failures. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis for surface corrosion, as this has been noted in both 2024 and 2025. The recurring exhaust leak at the centre flange suggests a gasket or pipe failure that has not been addressed despite two consecutive tests. Furthermore, the binding front service brakes reported in the latest test indicate likely sticking calipers or seized pins, which will lead to premature pad wear. The buyer should also verify if the rear anti-roll bar linkages flagged in 2024 were ever replaced, as play in these joints compromises vehicle stability.
