Newbie looking for doblo

[Elfin girl]

Hi there, just found your fourum, been looking for a doblo to replace my broken hijet. Seems they only have them for sale op north!!!
Any advice welcome, figured I'd go with buying from a dealer As they don't seem too much more expensive.
Finding the variety of engine/doors/length/hight a bit confusing! I just want low insurance and tax group and as long as load space is no smaller than the hijet I'm happy

Hi,
biggest thing is engine choice dependant on your usage,
modern diesels have a soot trap in the exhaust.."DPF" needs a good run regularly to work properly..,

where are you based..?,

I'm in Hertfordshire , drive very short journey to work three days a week, a twenty min or so journey four days a week and usually one 45 min journey a week. Also for 300 mile plus journeys a few times a year and as often as I can fit it in
Didn't know about a soot trap! I suppose f I know I've got one then I would be more conscious of driving to keep it clear, what would a good run regularly be do you think?
The Doblos I've been looking at have mostly been over 8 years old don't know if that makes a difference

hi, you are best posting in the Doblo section , bottom of homepage

older vehicles should be DPF free . so less costly maint..
but more VED / road tax..

always a trade-off,
