2017 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Diesel · SA13 BAP

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-09 recorded a pass, but it highlighted recurring brake-related issues. Front and offside brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. Rear brake pipes on both sides were corroded or covered in grease, which could indicate poor maintenance or exposure to harsh conditions. These defects suggest ongoing wear on braking components, which are critical for safety. A prior MOT on 2026-04-08, just one day earlier, resulted in a failure with more severe issues. The engine’s MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) was inoperative, and the supplementary restraint system warning lamp indicated a fault, both of which could compromise safety systems. Additional failures included non-functional side repeaters, damaged rear reflectors, and the same brake disc and pipe issues. The rapid transition from failure to pass raises questions about whether all defects were fully resolved or if some were temporarily masked. Recurring defects include brake disc wear and corroded brake pipes, which appeared in both the 2026 MOTs and earlier entries. The 2020-05-14 failure noted thin rear brake pads, suggesting potential neglect in routine maintenance.
