2017 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Diesel · WN17 BWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 7, 2026, at 98,030 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care, as the car failed just two days prior to that test at 98,007 miles. This failure involved a missing nearside rear wheel fixing and insufficient nearside front tyre tread. While these issues were rectified immediately, the history suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when necessitated by an MOT test failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 9,000 miles covered between March 2024 and February 2025, followed by a rapid increase of over 10,000 miles in the months leading up to the 2026 test. This recent burst of activity indicates high usage, which accelerates the wear on on components like the suspension and braking system noted in the earlier records. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and braking system during a physical evaluation. The 2024 test flagged a worn nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and a misting offside rear shock absorber, both of which require checking for signs of further degradation or fluid leaks. The front inner brake discs were also noted as pitted and scored at 78,559 miles; given the current mileage of over 98,000 miles, the buyer must verify the thickness and surface condition of these discs to ensure they are not approaching the end of their functional life.
