2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · WT17 CKA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 June 2026 at 77,776 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving following a mechanical failure in 2023. While the most recent test identified a minor defect regarding a damaged offside rear light lens, the absence of defects in the previous three tests suggests that the core mechanical components have remained in good condition recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with 11,441 miles covered between the May 2024 and June 2025 tests, and another 12,335 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. This regular use suggests the car does not suffer from long stationary periods, which is generally beneficial for the condition of seals, gaskets, and braking systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension to ensure the shock absorbers were replaced correctly following the June June 2023 failure. That specific test flagged a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock and misting on the offside rear. Although the vehicle has passed subsequent tests without issue, a physical inspection should confirm there are no new leaks or excessive play in the damping units. Given the age and mileage, checking the condition of the rubber bushes and exhaust mounting is also advisable to prevent future failures.
