2017 Fiat Tipo 1.4L Petrol · WT17 MXC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 90,136 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving as the owner has addressed significant mechanical failures from previous years. The latest failure in January 2026 was limited to a non-functional windscreen washer, which is a minor defect and does not indicate deeper mechanical neglect or structural issues within the Fiat Tipo. At nine years old, the recorded 90,136 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 10,000 miles. This aligns closely with typical national averages for a passenger car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,500 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,800 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than left stationary for extended periods. A buyer should verify the suspension during a physical inspection to ensure the serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber noted in January 2025 at 82,327 miles was properly rectified. Given the previous advisory regarding front tyres wearing on the edge in 2024 at 72,784 miles, it is also necessary to check for signs of incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes. While the most recent test was clean, the history indicates that the owner responds to MOT failures rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance.
