2022 Fiat Tipo Life

CarHunch analysed 103 real MOT records for the 2022 Fiat Tipo Life. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Fiat Tipo Life passes its MOT at 84%, which is a solid 4 percentage points above the UK average, and dangerous defects are rare at just 5.8% of vehicles. This is a reassuringly clean picture for a relatively young car still finding its feet in the used market.

At an average mileage of 27,428 miles for cars now around two years old, these Tipos are running fairly hard, yet they're averaging only 0.17 failures per test—suggesting the mechanical fundamentals hold up well. Before buying, pull the full MOT history to check for any pattern of advisories (currently averaging 0.7 per car), as this will tell you whether wear items are being maintained on schedule or neglected.

What to check before buying a 2022 Fiat Tipo Life

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
