Known faults for Fiat Fiat Tipo
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: FIAT TIPO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Suspension Arm Wear(Moderate)
Wishbone bushes and ball joints tend to wear earlier than on competitors, leading to MOT failures.
- DPF clogging and oil dilution on diesels(Serious)
The 1.3 and 1.6 MultiJet diesels are fitted with a Diesel Particulate Filter that needs regular motorway driving to regenerate. Short urban trips cause the DPF to clog, triggering warning lights and limp mode. If regeneration is repeatedly interrupted, fuel contaminates the engine oil, causing the level to rise and potentially damaging the engine.
