2016 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · RF66 UPW

The 2016 FIAT Tipo is roadworthy as of its latest MOT on 7 October 2025 at 67,660 miles, passing overall but flagged for a slightly damaged nearside rear inner tyre sidewall. The record shows a stable maintenance trend; the only recurring issue is rear‑brake disc wear noted in the 2022 tests, which has not re‑appeared in subsequent inspections, suggesting the problem was addressed. Mileage has risen from 41,653 miles in September 2023 to 57,848 miles in October 2024 and to 67,660 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 10 k miles per year over the last two intervals. For a ten‑year‑old vehicle this equates to about 6,700 miles per year overall, a figure that sits within normal usage patterns. The MOT entries are regular and evenly spaced, indicating that the vehicle has been consistently presented for testing without significant gaps. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the nearside rear tyre, checking for sidewall cracking or splitting that could compromise structural integrity. The rear brake discs, previously recorded as worn and pitted in October 2022, merit visual inspection for resurfacing or thinning, especially the condition of the pads and caliper movement. The parking‑brake lever, which showed excessive play in the 2022 failure, should be examined for correct adjustment and smooth operation. While no suspension or chassis advisories appear in the record, a tactile check of suspension bushes and coil springs is prudent to confirm there is no hidden wear or corrosion that the MOT may not have captured.
