2018 Fiat Tipo 1.6L Diesel · YY18 YMU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 June 2025 at 70,413 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While the car passed without defects in June 2022, subsequent tests show a steady increase in advisories related to braking systems and tyre wear, suggesting a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year. The distance covered between the June 2024 test (59,588 miles) and the June 2025 test (70,413 miles) shows a typical annual usage of 10,825 miles. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would indicate commercial use or prolonged periods of standing. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The June 2025 record flags worn, pitted, and scored rear brake discs, and the June 2024 test noted thin offside front brake pads. Combined with recurring mentions of parking brake lever travel since June 2023, these entries suggest the braking components are nearing the end of their service life and require immediate replacement. The tyre and electronics history also warrants attention. The tester flagged worn tyres in both 2023 and 2024, and the TPMS warning light has remained illuminated across the last two tests. This indicates the previous owner ignored a persistent sensor fault or a slow leak. A technician should verify the TPMS system and check the current tread depth and alignment to ensure the tyre wear is not caused by failing suspension bushes or incorrect tracking.
