Common Fiat Doblo problems
Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.

Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
Engines and how long they last
| Engine | Usually lasts | Motor tax / year | For sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 Diesel | ~320k km | ~€190 | 5 |
"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
