2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · FL17 BBO

The 2017 Fiat Tipo presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 2 April 2025 at 52,439 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures logged by DVSA. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical class averages for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 30,194 miles at the 24 March 2022 test, rising to 35,352 by 21 March 2023, 43,283 by 13 March 2024, and 52,439 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 5,800 miles per year, confirming light use with no sudden accumulation spikes or unexplained gaps between tests. The sparse, clean ledger offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage and long standing periods can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to crack through age rather than wear, and underbody corrosion to develop unseen. The MOT data flags none of these, but the absence of advisories does not certify suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions as sound beyond the test date. Given the fault-free record, previous owners appear to have kept the car minimally but adequately serviced for its low annual distance. Verify service history against the mileage steps, check for structural rust on sills and subframes, and confirm brake disc condition given the car's likely static intervals between use.
