2017 Fiat Doblo 1.2L Diesel · YY17 FDK

The 2026-06-18 test resulted in a PASSED rating of 174,824 miles, indicating that the vehicle's mechanical condition has remained stable and has not deteriorated since the most recent inspection. This is a significant improvement over the previous MOT of 150,197 miles recorded on 2024-04-15, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness for approximately two years. The absence of defects in the September 2023 test confirms that no catastrophic failures occurred during this period. The mileage accumulation is substantial, reflecting a vehicle approximately nine years old with over 19,000 miles accumulated in the last year. While the high mileage does not necessarily indicate poor condition, it suggests that the owner may have maintained the car lightly or for extended periods without regular servicing. The data shows a clear gap between the September 2023 test and the April 2024 test, where the vehicle was tested at 130,029 miles and passed, whereas the April 2024 test was conducted at 150,197 miles and failed. This gap indicates that the vehicle experienced a period of reduced mileage usage or a lack of regular maintenance between the two inspections. Given the recurring faults, the vehicle requires immediate inspection of critical structural components and mechanical systems. The most significant issues identified include a severely deteriorated balljoint boot on the front lower suspension and a corroded brake pipe in the nearside. These components are prone to failure under normal driving conditions and represent serious risks to the vehicle's safety and structural integrity. The buyer must inspect the front lower suspension, brake discs, and the nearside brake pipe in person to identify any corrosion or binding conditions before proceeding with the purchase.
