2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · WO17 EXB

The 2017 Fiat Tipo presents as roadworthy following a pass on 16 June 2025 at 46,372 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The only blemish is a failure logged on 23 May 2025 at the same mileage, yet the DVSA entry records no defects, indicating the car was likely presented prematurely or the failure stemmed from administrative or unrecorded test conditions rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in May 2022, 2023, and 2024 all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The odometer shows 46,372 miles against roughly nine years of age, equating to about 5,152 miles per year, which is low for a family hatchback. Annual increments stayed modest: 32,390 miles in May 2022, 38,340 in May 2023, 41,619 in May 2024, and 46,372 by May 2025. The gap between the May and June 2025 tests shows zero miles travelled, suggesting the vehicle stood unused or was moved only privately during that period. Sparse, clean records give little evidence of neglected consumables but also no deep insight into wear cycles. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop perished rubber and surface corrosion unseen in a pass result. The May 2025 failure with no listed defect warrants direct enquiry with the selling party to confirm the true reason, since a clean pass one month later does not explain the earlier rejection. Given the absent advisories, structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no flagged concern, but physical checks on underbody rust and tyre sidewall condition remain prudent on a car of this age.
