2020 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Diesel · DX70 GGZ

The Fiat Tipo presents a stable mechanical trend backed by a clean pass on 6 August 2025 at 18,535 miles, with zero defects recorded. This recent certificate sits nearly a year old relative to today, meaning a fresh test will soon be required to secure continued roadworthiness. The low mileage accumulation of roughly 3,089 miles per year reflects exceptionally light use across its six-year lifespan. The vehicle covered 2,735 miles between the August 2023 test at 14,184 miles and the August 2024 test at 16,919 miles, before slowing further to just 1,616 miles leading up to the August 2025 test. This sparse record shows no concerning gaps in testing frequency, though such minimal annual use often points to prolonged periods of standing. A physical inspection must prioritize the braking system given the specific advisories logged during the August 2024 test at 16,919 miles, which noted that both the near side and off side rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. While the subsequent 2025 test recorded no defects, prospective buyers should thoroughly check the rear discs and pads for surface corrosion, lips, or uneven friction material transfer caused by infrequent driving. Suspension components, exhaust integrity, and tyre sidewalls also warrant careful scrutiny for age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage mechanical fatigue.
