The 2007 Fiat Bravo has 2 known issues. 1 of these are classified as serious faults that could be expensive to repair. 1 are moderate concerns worth inspecting before purchase.

M32 Six-Speed Manual Gearbox Bearing Wear

Serious

On 1.4 T-Jet (150PS) and early 1.9 MultiJet models fitted with the GM-Fiat joint-venture M32 six-speed manual gearbox, the end-case bearings on the 6th gear and output shafts suffer premature wear due to tight pre-load tolerances and marginal lubrication under sustained load. If neglected, bearing collapse damages the casing and internal gear clusters, requiring a complete transmission rebuild or replacement.

Symptoms: High-pitched whining or humming noise in 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th gears, Gear lever twitching or jumping backward when coming on and off the throttle in 1st or 5th gear...

Est. repair cost: £450–£1,100

Climate Control Blend-Door Actuator Stripping

Moderate

On Bravos equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, the small plastic drive splines connecting the stepper actuator motors to the internal heater flap levers become brittle and strip. The motor continues to spin while the internal flap remains stuck, leaving the car blowing only icy cold or scalding hot air on one or both sides of the cabin. Remedying the issue is notoriously labour-intensive because replacing the lower heater casing actuators requires extensive dashboard disassembly.

Symptoms: Rhythmic clicking or tapping sound behind the centre console for 10–20 seconds after switching on the ignition, Cabin heater blowing freezing cold air on the passenger side while driver side is set to hot (or vice versa)...

Est. repair cost: £300–£850
