2010 Fiat Doblo 1.6L Diesel · WF60 LUH

Chronic suspension wear and recurring tyre degradation define this vehicle's history, though the record is punctuated by a critical five-year absence of MOT data since September 2021. While the 2021 test resulted in a pass, it flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit, continuing a long-term pattern of tyre wear noted as far back as 2015. The overall trend indicates a vehicle that frequently reached the limit of its consumable components and suspension bushings before passing its inspections. The recorded mileage of 107,882 miles over sixteen years averages approximately 6,743 miles per annum, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, the total lack of DVSA records between 2021 and 2026 is a significant anomaly. Such a prolonged period without a recorded test suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for several years, which often leads to the perishing of rubber components, seizure of brake calipers, and the degradation of fluids and batteries. Inspection should focus heavily on the rear suspension and steering geometry. The records specifically highlight deteriorated trailing arm rubber bushes and oil misting from the rear shock absorbers, alongside notchy front strut top bearings. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces and feel for any hesitation or notchiness in the steering wheel when turning at low speeds. The history of tyres being worn on the edges suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension linkages that should be verified. Further attention is required regarding the engine and electrical systems. An oil leak was explicitly recorded in 2017, and a yellow warning exclamation light was noted on the dashboard in 2018. A physical inspection of the engine bay and the ground beneath the vehicle is necessary to determine if the oil leak persists. Additionally, verify the operation of all lighting, specifically the offside rear indicator and headlamp lenses, which were flagged as defective or discoloured across multiple testing years.
