2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · WN17 CCD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward reactive repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 80,654 miles passed, it carried advisories for a cracked offside rear lamp unit and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a more critical 2024 test where the nearside rear tyre was found exactly at the 1.6mm limit. These recurring issues suggest the previous owner was delaying consumable replacements until they reached an MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile of 80,654 miles over nine years represents an average usage of approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK figures for this age. There is a consistent accumulation of mileage between tests, such as 8,200 miles covered between July 2024 and August 2025, and roughly 4,100 miles between May 2023 and July 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The May 2023 record flagged thin brake pads all around at 67,037 miles, and the subsequent uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 and 2025 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. You should check for uneven wear on the brake discs and inspect the front suspension arm bushings for signs of play. Given the history of ignoring tyre wear, verifying the current depth and condition of all four tyres is essential to ensure no immediate expenditure is required.
