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.
