2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · WM17 FCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, achieving a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on 22 May 2026 at 31,332 miles. This represents an improving trend compared to previous years where minor consumable issues were identified. The current absence of defects suggests that the latest owner has addressed previous maintenance requirements and maintained the vehicle effectively between inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Data shows a period of minimal use between May 2022 and June 2024, where the car covered only 1,429 miles, followed by a more consistent increase of 4,351 miles in the following year. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the flat-spotting of tyres. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres and suspension components, as the records from 2023 and 2024 indicate a history of neglecting front tyre until they reached legal limits. The 2024 test specifically flagged cracking on the offside front tyre, which suggests rubber perishing due to age rather than tread wear. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to check for brake corrosion on the discs and ensure the suspension bushes are intact, as these often suffer when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
