Used Fiat Tipo Wiper Motor

The second-generation Fiat Tipo was relaunched in 2016 and is still in production, so when searching for a used wiper motor you need to match your car's generation and whether you need the front or rear unit. The front wiper motor is the most commonly replaced and is typically what breakers will quote on by default, so specify front or rear when requesting a quote. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Both the 2017 and 2020 Tipo sit within the same second-generation model range that launched in 2016, so in principle the front wiper motor should be compatible across those years. However, minor mid-cycle running changes can affect components like this, so confirm the part number against your specific registration with the breaker before committing.

Trim level — whether Easy, Lounge, Street, or any other — does not affect wiper motor fitment; the motor is determined by the generation and whether it is the front or rear unit. You may find cosmetic differences such as different wiper blade lengths or washer jet positioning depending on body style, but the motor itself is interchange-compatible across trims within the same generation. Confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker to be sure.

No — the front and rear wiper motors are entirely different units with different specifications, mounting arrangements, and connectors, so they are not interchangeable. When requesting a quote from a breaker, always state clearly whether you need the front or rear motor to avoid being sent the wrong part.

No, engine choice has no bearing on wiper motor fitment — the motor is determined by the body generation and front or rear position, not by whether your car is petrol, diesel, or a particular engine size. This means you can source a motor from any Tipo of the same generation regardless of its engine, which gives you a wider pool of parts to choose from at breakers.

The original Fiat Tipo ran from 1988 to 1995 and the current second-generation model launched in 2016, making these entirely different cars with no shared components — a wiper motor from the older generation will not fit the current car. Always source a motor from the same second-generation (2016-onwards) Tipo, and confirm compatibility against your registration with the breaker before buying.
