2016 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · KM66 GPY

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-07 shows a pass with three recorded issues: a cracked front windscreen (not affecting visibility), front tyres worn to 3mm (near the 1.6mm legal limit), and a nearside front tyre with perishing. A fail on the same date lists the same issues plus a brake lever with insufficient reserve travel, suggesting potential brake system concerns. This inconsistency may indicate a procedural error, but both outcomes highlight ongoing tyre and brake-related risks. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear (near legal limits, edge wear, or perishing) and brake disc pitting (not seriously weakened but requiring monitoring). The 2025-03-05 failed MOT also noted brake pad thickness below 1.5mm, a critical safety issue, while earlier tests (2024-02-10) flagged pitted brake discs. These suggest gradual wear in braking components, though no major failures have been recorded. The trend shows stability in critical areas, with no new severe defects since 2025. However, repeated tyre and brake issues imply ongoing maintenance needs . The vehicle’s mileage (72,874 miles over 10 years) aligns with average usage, indicating neither excessive wear nor prolonged under-use. This suggests consistent, moderate driving but does not rule out localized stress on components like tyres or brakes.
