Is the Fiat Doblo ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 48,955 MOT tests, around 33% of Fiat Doblos still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 45% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 22%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 87% diesel, 13% petrol. Diesel Doblos are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged. Every petrol Doblo in the data (2001 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Doblo
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (87% of Doblos tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (13% of Doblos tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Doblos from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (22% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Fiat can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Fiat Doblo for London: what the MOT data shows
The Fiat Doblos in this data were first registered between 2001 and 2020. 2013 was the most common year, with 7,617 tests (16% of the total), and half were registered in 2013 or later.
Doblos from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 67% of the time, at an average of 70,274 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 62% of the time with 94,258 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Doblos likely to comply are from 2016. 3,297 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 66% of the time and averaged 75,329 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Doblos likely to comply are from 2006. 310 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 54% of the time and averaged 109,832 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Doblo's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "fractured or broken" (6.5% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (5.9%); noise, emissions and leaks: "inoperative or indicates a malfunction" (3.0%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 17.2% of tests.
Overall, 64% of Doblos passed first time, noticeably below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 83,469 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
