Every Fiat Doblo model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2013 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Fiat Doblo:

What this means if you are buying a 2013 Doblo

The 2013 is one of the stronger years for this model, passing 6.6 points more often than the Fiat Doblo average. That is a point in its favour, though condition and service history still matter more than the model year.

What a 13-year-old car fails on

A 2013 car is 13 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age. On a 2013 Fiat Doblo the average at test was 79,042 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2020 at 79.3%, and the weakest in our data is 2004 at 54.6%. That 24.7 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2013 car against a newer one tells you very little.
