2020 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Diesel · DS70 LRV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in December 2025, but only after an initial failure on the same day. This failure was due to significant tyre neglect, specifically a structural failure in the offside front tyre which had developed a lump, alongside multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit. There is a clear pattern of worsening maintenance regarding consumables. The 2023 inspection was largely clean, but by 2024 the rear brake pads were wearing thin, and by 2025 the tyre condition had deteriorated to the point of a safety failure. This suggests the previous owner followed a reactive maintenance schedule, only replacing parts when they failed an inspection rather than performing preventative upkeep. The recorded mileage of 48,361 is typical for a six-year-old car. While the mileage itself does not indicate excessive wear, the fact that the tyres and brakes reached their limits at this stage suggests the vehicle may have been subject to a demanding driving style or a general lack of routine care. A buyer should first conduct a thorough inspection of all four tyres, looking specifically for uneven wear, sidewall bulges, or evidence of budget replacements. You should also verify the current thickness of the brake pads and discs to ensure the wear noted in 2024 was properly addressed.
