2016 Fiat Tipo 1.2L Diesel · HX66 YHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive neglect regarding basic consumables. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 73,058 miles passed, the advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit suggests ongoing oversight. This follows a significant failure in May 2024 at 63,853 miles, where the tester found multiple tyres with exposed cords and insufficient tread depth, indicating a failure to perform routine inspections. The mileage pattern is inconsistent. The car has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which is typical for a decade-old vehicle. However, the data shows a sharp spike in usage between December 2022 (52,294 miles) and May 2024 (84,019 miles), where over 31,000 miles were covered in just seventeen months. Interestingly, the recorded mileage in August 2025 at 73,058 miles is lower than the May 2024 entry, suggesting a potential discrepancy in the odometer reading or a clerical error by the tester. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension alignment and tyre wear patterns. Repeated reports of tyres being worn on the edge or reaching the legal limit prematurely often point to incorrect wheel geometry or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. The recurring windscreen damage noted in both 2024 and 2025 should be checked for developing cracks that could spread under stress. Given the previous failure for a missing mirror and exposed tyre cords, a thorough check of all lighting and glass integrity is essential to ensure the current owner is not bypassing safety-critical items.
