2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · WO17 EKT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 11 June 2025 at 61,024 miles with no recorded defects. After a single failure in June 2023 for fractured front coil springs, the successive 2024 and 2025 tests have been clean, indicating an improving maintenance trend rather than a recurring deterioration. Mileage has risen from 50,562 miles in June 2022 to 61,024 miles in June 2025, an average of roughly 6,800 miles per year. The incremental increases between each annual test – 3,227 miles to June 2023, 3,122 miles to June 2024 and 4,110 miles to June 2025 – show no abrupt spikes that would suggest heavy short‑term usage. The recorded mileage aligns with typical use for a nine‑year‑old vehicle, and the MOT record contains no gaps or unexplained periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension, confirming that the coil springs replaced after the 2023 fracture are securely fitted and free of corrosion or fatigue. Inspect the surrounding suspension bushes and mounting points for any signs of wear that could indicate lingering stress. Although no brake faults were logged, a visual check of brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear is prudent. Finally, verify the condition of the rear tyres – the 2022 advisory on near‑limit tread suggests the current set should be examined for depth and uniformity, and a general survey for rust or structural damage around the chassis will complete the assessment.
