2018 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · DX68 HWM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 65,063 miles and no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend, as previous mechanical issues have been addressed and rectified. While the history shows recurring wear-related faults, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests the current owner is maintaining the car to the required legal safety standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,133 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 10,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular annual usage suggests the car has been used for routine commuting rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals, rubber components, and braking hardware. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as the record shows a persistent issue with pitted and scored discs. In both 2022 and 2024, the nearside and offside front discs were flagged as worn, with the 2024 test specifically noting thin nearside pads. While the 2025 test passed without defects, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and check for uneven wear on the rotors to ensure recent replacements were effective. The 2022 failure due to defective wiper blades and an insecure heat shield highlights minor consumable neglect that has since been resolved. The overall lack of structural corrosion or suspension advisories across the records suggests the chassis and mounting components remain in good condition. Given the mileage and the most recent clean pass, the vehicle appears to be a mechanically sound purchase provided the brake components are physically inspected for signs of renewed binding or thinning.
