Used Fiat Doblo for sale: everything you need to know

Improvements from 2015 onwards address issues with cabin noise, making the Doblo Cargo impressively refined on the move. 

The additional bonus appeal with the Doblo is its versatility thanks to a variety of different shapes and sizes. It can be had in standard and long wheelbase Maxi Van versions, a combi, high roof and the WorkUp pick-up model. There is also a chassis cab option that works as a base for conversions and a passenger version. 

Rival options to consider include the popular Ford Transit Connect, the Peugeot Partner and the Citroen Berlingo though in basic form they offer less in the way of load space.
