2021 Fiat Tipo Cross 1.0L Petrol · CF71 LCT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on December 5 2025 at 39,119 miles resulted in a pass only after a failure involving several critical wear items. While the car passed without defects in 2024, the appearance of multiple mechanical failures in the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner was only addressing faults once they reached the point of MOT failure criteria. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. A significant gap of 17,996 miles occurred between the December 2024 test at 21,123 miles and the December 2025 test at 39,119 miles. This high rate of use over a single year explains the rapid degradation of the front brake discs and tyres, which were not noted as a concern during the previous year's clean inspection. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system and tyre assembly during a person. The December 2025 record flagged both front brake discs as worn and noted that tyres were reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension bushing fatigue that requires verification on-site. Additionally, the failure of the windscreen wipers in the latest test suggests basic consumable maintenance is neglected, so the buyer must ensure visibility remains adequate.
