2021 Fiat Tipo Life 1.0L Petrol · YC71 CKE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to basic consumable upkeep. While it passed the test on 23 August 2025 at 17,342 miles, it initially failed that same day due to multiple safety defects. The transition from a clean record in the previous year to a failure involving tyres and suspension components indicates that Routine maintenance may have been neglected prior to the most recent inspection. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,468 miles per year. However, there is a discrepancy in the recorded data that requires scrutiny. The August 2024 test recorded 19,557 miles, while the August 2025 test recorded only 17,342 miles. This mileage regression suggests either an odometer reading error during the previousTest or a clerical mistake, which necessitates verification against the service history to Ensure the accuracy of the vehicle's wear levels. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and steering geometry in person, as the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint was flagged for play during the 2025 test. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the offside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be addressed to prevent rapid degradation of new rubber. All tyres should be checked for consistent tread depth to ensure they were replaced correctly following the failure, as the nearside front was previously below the 1.6mm legal limit.
