Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Fiat TIPO Easy + Owners

These checks follow this Fiat TIPO Easy +'s own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Fiat TIPO Easy +.

• the suspension joints — “linkage ball joint dust cover ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated”

  With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

• the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

  Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

• the brakes — “brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick”

  Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Fiat TIPO Easy +. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
