2018 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Petrol · MA18 GCZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a period of neglect regarding consumable items. The most recent test in December 2025 at 60,219 miles passed with minor advisories regarding a nearside headlamp and an obstructed seat belt. This follows a significant failure in December 2024 at 53,911 miles where four tyres were flagged for insufficient tread depth or structural sidewall damage. Since that failure, the vehicle has maintained a stable status through its most recent inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 35,211 miles and the December 2025 test at 60,219 miles, the car covered roughly 25,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. The gap of 6,308 miles between the two December 2024 tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods of time. A buyer should inspect the suspension and alignment in person, as the history shows a recurring issue with uneven tyre wear, specifically noted on the offside rear edge in late 2024. This often indicates an issue with tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. The previous sidewall damage and cracking noted in 2023 suggest the vehicle may have encountered significant road impacts. While the record shows no structural corrosion or brake failures, the repeated pattern of tyre-related faults suggests the owner only addresses maintenance when forced by an impending MOT failure rather than performing preventative replacements.
