2021 Fiat Tipo 1.0L Petrol · DS21 VZK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 01 May 2026. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test initially failed at 64,097 miles due to exposed cords on the offside front tyre and a low headlamp aim, these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass two days later. This suggests the owner is attentive to MOT failures once they are officially flagged by a tester. At 64,099 miles, this Fiat Tipo has averaged approximately 12,800 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a passenger car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with a roughly 10,000 miles driven between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 13,600 miles covered in the final year. This high level of use indicates regular operation which puts significant demand on wear-related components, particularly the braking system and suspension, which may show signs of fatigue. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension geometry and alignment. The May 2025 test at 50,417 miles flagged the offside front inner tyre as being worn to the edge, a classic symptom of incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. Given the subsequent 2026 failure involving exposed cords on the same corner, it is vital to inspect the remaining tyres for uneven wear and to verify the steering is not pulling. Additionally, check the brake discs and pads to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to thin material or sticking calipers.
