About This Data
The 2012 Fiat Doblo 16v Multijet has an MOT pass rate of 69.4% based on 572 tests — slightly above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 57,047 miles on the odometer. With a 30.6% failure rate, the 2012 Doblo 16v Multijet is rated as "Good" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 2012 Fiat Doblo 16v Multijet, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test. At 57,047 average miles, these vehicles are in the mid-range where component wear starts to become a factor.
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment — 14.2% of failures
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment issues account for 14.2% of MOT failures on 2012 Fiat Doblo 16v Multijet models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Suspension — 11.9% of failures
Suspension issues account for 11.9% of MOT failures on 2012 Fiat Doblo 16v Multijet models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Tyres — 8.4% of failures
Tyres issues account for 8.4% of MOT failures on 2012 Fiat Doblo 16v Multijet models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
