Hi, I recently joined the forum and wondered if you guys could share your experience of owning a doblo van with me. I have owned a Ducato for almost 5 years . Its been fine with just a few issues along the way. I now have the need to downsize my vehicle and have seen a Doblo with the 1.3 multijet engine.
The van is in very good condition and has covered around 88, 000 miles. Its not been used as a trade vehicle and obviously has only done light work judging from the condition.
It doesn't appear to have much in the way of service history and the current owner has never had the timing chain done. Not sure on the service intervals for the chain, I have read conflicting remarks about how good and bad they are. It's underpriced slightly and not having any history to speak of I could Use this as a bargaining chop.
Are these vehicles reliable or should I walk away.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated . Thanks
Neil
