2008 Fiat Doblo Cargo 1.2L Diesel · SW58 ABO

The Fiat Doblo Cargo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a current valid pass. The most recent test on 25 November 2023 at 105,827 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same-day failure with no defects listed points to an administrative or presentation error rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the van passed cleanly on 18 November 2022 at 98,496 miles and on 2 December 2021 at 93,396 miles. The history carries no advisories, no corrosion flags, and no recurring mechanical defects across the three years covered. At roughly 18 years old the vehicle displays low use, averaging about 5,879 miles per year against the 105,827 miles recorded. The yearly increments are modest: 4,500 miles between December 2021 and November 2022, then 7,331 miles to November 2023. Such low accumulation suggests light duties or periods of standing, which can mask degraded rubber components and brake seizing despite a clean MOT sheet. The sparse record with three passes and two same-day fail/pass anomalies gives little depth, but nothing indicates neglect or rapid wear. A buyer should still verify in person the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after standing, as low-mileage vans often develop perished seals and flat-spotted tyres. The absence of advisories means the tester saw no immediate risk, yet structural integrity around sills and chassis should be inspected for hidden rust given the 2008 build. Confirm the 25 November 2023 failure was clerical, not a withdrawn test, before purchase.
