WOF tips
When taking your Fiat Doblo for a WOF, pay close attention to the following: Suspension components (especially rear leaf springs for wear and corrosion), brake condition (pads, rotors, and lines), tyre tread depth and condition, all lights functioning correctly, and windscreen for cracks or chips. Also scrutinize the exhaust system for leaks, particularly around the catalytic converter (if fitted) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) on diesel models. Power steering function should be checked well as these often give owners problems.
