2016 Fiat Doblo 1.6L Diesel · WV16 UAS

The vehicle presents a moderate roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2022 at 71,557 miles shows a pass following an initial failure for brake performance and suspension wear. While the vehicle cleared its last recorded test, the presence of advisories for leaking rear shock absorbers and worn Macpherson strut bushes suggests that the suspension system is reaching the end of its functional life and requires monitoring. The mileage pattern is generally consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year to reach the current 71,557 miles. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the recorded data. The August 2020 test lists 94,940 miles, which is vastly higher than the July 2021 reading of 64,015 miles. This suggests either a clerical error during the previous entry or an odometer rollback issue. Given that the last MOT was performed in 2022, the vehicle is now nearly four years overdue for a formal inspection, increasing the risk of undetected mechanical degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension components, as the Macpherson strut pins and bushes were flagged across multiple tests. The 2022 failure for a lagging and fluctuating rear brake indicates that the braking system may have suffered from corrosion or seized calipers; the buyer should check the brake discs for uneven wear and ensure the offside rear shock absorber has not progressed beyond light misting. Furthermore, the history of uneven tyre wear in 2020 points to potential alignment issues that should be verified to prevent premature tyre failure.
