FIAT TIPO2017 · 1.4L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 7 May 2025 at 25,811 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues a consistent trend of clean test results dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,868 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the odometer rose from 17,933 to 25,811 miles, confirming a steady but light usage pattern. There is a minor anomaly on 30 April 2024 where the car failed and passed within two miles, though the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a trivial administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from issues related to inactivity rather than wear. A buyer should specifically check for perishing rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack over time even without high mileage. Brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as light use often leads to rust build-up on the rotors. The absence of any advisories regarding structural integrity or corrosion across five years of testing is a positive indicator. However, the lack of recorded mechanical failures means the MOT history provides little insight into the service regime. Verifying the oil change intervals and timing belt status via service stamps is essential to ensure the engine has not suffered from long periods of standing.
