2017 Fiat Tipo 1.2L Diesel · WN17 BWG

The 2017 Fiat Tipo presents a stable and broadly improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 22 May 2026 at 104,475 miles. The only advisory on that most recent test was a nail in the offside rear tyre, a minor and easily rectified puncture rather than a systemic defect. Looking back, the record shows a clear shift from recurring tyre wear advisories in 2024 and 2025 to a vehicle that now passes with negligible faults, suggesting the current or most recent keeper has replaced worn rubber and maintained the car to a reasonable standard. The mileage accumulation of roughly 11,600 miles per year is typical for a nine-year-old vehicle and indicates consistent use rather than prolonged standing or excessively hard driving. The annual tests from 2023 through 2026 show a steady progression from 69,934 miles to 104,475 miles, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps that would raise concerns about clocking or long-term neglect. The data is clean and consistent, reinforcing the impression of regular, predictable use. A buyer should still inspect the tyre condition in person, given the repeated advisories for edge wear on both nearside and offside rear tyres across the 2024 and 2025 tests. Uneven wear on inner or outer edges can point to tracking misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or damaged coil springs, so a thorough check of the rear suspension geometry is advisable. The 2023 failure for insufficient washer fluid is trivial but worth confirming as operational, along with a visual inspection of the windscreen for chips or cracks that could impair the next test. Beyond tyres, the MOT record contains no structural corrosion, braking, or exhaust emissions failures, which is reassuring for a vehicle of this age. Prospective buyers should still examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, check the exhaust system for corrosion at joints and mounting points, and look underneath for any signs of rust on subframes or suspension mounting points. The overall record suggests a well-used but mechanically sound car, with the only recurring theme being tyre maintenance that now appears to have been brought under control.
