Fiat Tipo — MOT Reliability Overview
The Fiat Tipo has an average MOT pass rate of 83.8%, which is 1.2 percentage points below the Fiat brand average of 85.0%. This is a strong result, indicating that the Tipo is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.
The most common reasons a Fiat Tipo fails its MOT are brake pipe damaged or excessively corroded, wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen, a spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened. If you are preparing your Tipo for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.
Before buying a used Fiat Tipo, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
