2021 Fiat Tipo Life 1.0L Petrol · DX71 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable and clean MOT history with no recorded failures or advisories. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 23,804 miles returned a pass with no defects noted. This indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum legal requirements for structural integrity and mechanical safety throughout its recorded history. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the 17 August 2024 test at 18,230 miles and the 28 August 2025 test at 23,804 miles, the car covered 5,574 miles. This averages to approximately 5,500 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the UK national average. Such low usage suggests the car has been used primarily for short trips or has spent considerable time stationary. While the MOT record is clean, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to specific maintenance issues. You should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation that MOT tests might not capture, such as perished rubber components in the suspension bushes or drying seals. Given the infrequent use, check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody or brake discs, as vehicles that sit for long periods can develop surface rust or binding calipers. The lack of recorded faults suggests a consistent approach to basic upkeep. During a physical inspection, focus on the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables often degrade due to age rather than mileage. Confirm that the service history aligns with this low-mileage usage to ensure the engine oil and fluids have been changed regularly despite the light usage.
