What to Look For When Buying Used
- DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): Essential for diesel models, especially those used for short urban journeys. Check for warning lights or a history of DPF issues. A blocked DPF is a costly repair.
- Timing Belt/Chain:
- 1.3 Multijet: Uses a timing chain. Generally robust, but listen for rattling noises on startup which could indicate chain stretch.
- 1.6 Multijet & 2.0 Multijet: Use a timing belt. Ensure it has been changed according to manufacturer intervals (typically 75,000 miles or 5 years) with proof of service. Failure can lead to catastrophic engine damage.
- 1.4 Petrol: Uses a timing belt.
- Suspension: Listen for knocks or creaks, especially over bumps. Rear leaf springs can weaken with continuous heavy loads.
- Clutch: Worn clutches are common in vans that have seen heavy stop-start urban use. Test for slip under acceleration.
- Rust Spots: Check wheel arches, sills, and any areas where the paint might have been scratched or damaged, particularly around door bottoms and where panels meet.
- Sliding Doors: Ensure they open and close smoothly, and the locking mechanism works correctly.
Running Costs for Businesses
- Insurance: Varies significantly, but typically falls into commercial vehicle insurance groups 9-15. Expect £400-£800+ annually depending on driver age, no-claims bonus, and usage.
- Fuel Economy:
- 1.3 Multijet: 45-55 MPG combined (WLTP) is achievable with careful driving.
- 1.6 Multijet: 40-50 MPG combined (WLTP).
- 1.4 Petrol: 30-38 MPG combined (WLTP).
- Servicing: Annual service costs typically range from £150-£300 for a minor service, £300-£500+ for a major service (excluding specific items like timing belts). Parts are generally affordable.
- ULEZ/CAZ Compliance:
- Most Euro 6 diesel Doblos (generally from late 2016 onwards) are ULEZ/CAZ compliant.
- Some Euro 4 or 5 diesel Doblos (older models) will incur charges in these zones.
- All petrol Doblos (Euro 4 and newer) are ULEZ/CAZ compliant. Always check a specific vehicle's registration on the TfL website for London ULEZ or respective council sites for CAZ.
Is the Fiat Doblo Right For Your Business?
The Fiat Doblo is an excellent choice for tradespeople, delivery drivers, or small businesses requiring a compact yet capacious van without breaking the bank. Its compact size makes it agile in urban environments, while its surprisingly generous load space can accommodate more than you might expect. It's particularly suited for: electricians, plumbers, florists, small parcel delivery, and mobile dog groomers.
Alternatives to consider: Citroen Berlingo/Peugeot Partner (often mechanically similar to the Doblo's platform-mate, the Vauxhall Combo/Toyota Proace City), Ford Transit Connect, Renault Kangoo, and Volkswagen Caddy.
