Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but verify rece
When inspecting this specific 1.4L petrol model, focus on the areas identified in the 2023 MOT failure. Ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring system is fully operational and that the windscreen washer jets are aligned and spraying correctly, as these were previous points of failure.
Given the 2023 failure for thin brake pads and worn tyres, ask the seller for evidence of the work carried out to rectify these issues. While the most recent MOT in January 2026 was clean, confirming that the braking system and tyre tread depths are currently within healthy limits is essential for a buyer.
The 1368cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group, making it suitable for various driver profiles. Fuel economy for the Tipo is typically competitive for its class, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be manageable, though you should budget for routine consumables like tyres and brake pads, which were highlighted in the vehicle's history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, fall in the range of £1,200-£1,500.
A primary inspection point should be the tyres; the 2023 record shows significant issues with both edge wear and exposed cords, so check that all four tyres have ample tread and no uneven wear patterns. You should also test the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to ensure it is communicating correctly with the dashboard.
Additionally, check the windscreen washer system for proper alignment and spray pattern to avoid a repeat of the 2023 MOT failure. Finally, as brake pads were previously noted as 'wearing thin', perform a visual check of the brake discs and pads for any signs of excessive wear or irregular patterns.
This 2019 Fiat Tipo (WG19VTO) has covered 59,082 miles since its first registration in April 2019. While it experienced a failure in May 2023 involving tyres, brakes, and washer jets, the subsequent three MOT tests have all passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model aggregate average of 8,239 miles per year.
Aggregate data for the Fiat Tipo shows an 81.9% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, headlamps, and coil springs.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
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.
