2016 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Diesel · DF66 ACU

This Fiat Tipo presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 96,811 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 2 December 2025 and 7 December 2024, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues rectified immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 23,404 miles between November 2023 and December 2025, averaging roughly 11,700 miles per year over that period. This is a moderate usage rate that avoids the risks associated with long-term standing, such as perished seals or seized brake calipers. The absence of advisories across the last three years is unusual for a ten year old vehicle with nearly 100,000 miles. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components typically show wear at this mileage. Checking for underside corrosion and assessing the remaining thickness of the brake discs is recommended to ensure the lack of MOT advisories reflects actual maintenance rather than a lenient testing regime. The overall history suggests a well-maintained car with no recurring mechanical trends or structural red flags. Verification of the service history for timing belt and water pump replacement is the primary priority, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine at this age and mileage.
