2017 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Diesel · FG67 ORN

The 2017 Fiat Tipo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 55,314 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across five consecutive annual examinations. The recorded mileage shows light, consistent use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 22 September 2021 test at 24,970 miles, the car covered 7,570 miles to the 27 September 2022 test at 32,540 miles, then 10,347 miles to 19 September 2023 at 42,887 miles, before a sharp drop to 54,491 miles by 18 September 2024 and only 823 miles to the 2025 test. The 2023 to 2024 jump of over 11,600 miles suggests a period of heavier commuting, but the subsequent near-standstill implies the car then sat largely unused. Average annual use sits near 6,146 miles, below typical fleet norms. No advisories or failures appear in the DVSA history, so the record reveals no recurring suspension bushes wear, brake disc corrosion, exhaust emission faults, or structural integrity concerns. A clean sheet across all tests indicates previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe for hidden corrosion, check suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related perishing, and verify brake calipers are free given the low 2024 to 2025 mileage that can encourage seizing. The MOT evidence supports a sound purchase, but static storage between tests warrants hands-on confirmation of mechanical freedom.
