2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · AF67 LYT

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a maintenance trend showing signs of improvement. The most recent inspection conducted on 6 December 2024 at 71,999 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical and wear issues have been addressed. This clean result marks a positive shift from the earlier years where specific components like the braking and suspension systems were flagged for attention. At 71,999 miles over nine years, the car has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for a family hatchback. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 18,000 miles covered between August 2023 and December 2024, and another 17,000 miles between August 2022 and August 2023. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and hydraulic components. A buyer should focus specifically on the rear suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. The August 2023 test at 54,052 miles identified oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber, while the 2022 test noted pitted and scored rear brake discs. While the 2024 test passed without defects, the inspector must verify that the shock absorber has not developed a significant leak and that the rear brake hardware has been replaced recently. Given the 2020 advisory regarding thin front pads and uneven tyre wear, checking the current tread depth and patterns across all four wheels remains essential to ensure the owner is maintaining basic consumables.
