The Fiat Doblo’s commercial vehicle origins bode well for its reliability. It’s been designed to stand up to some pretty tough treatment in the hands of van operators so we’d expect it to stay the course of family life fairly well.

On the safety front, the latest high tech features aren’t offered but you do get twin front airbags, ESP stability control with a Hill Holder function and ISOFIX child seat points as standard. Anti-whiplash front head restraints are an option.
