Cambelt failure at 51,000 - should be at 63,000+.

Sudden loss of water from the radiator system (or at service!)

Why oh why did I buy a Fiat!
Looks good, but that's about it.
We owned a Fiat Brava for 3 months. 2 months after our 1 year old aquisition the problems started... Firstly, we discovered rust on 3 of the door hinges, and then within 3 weeks the rear wiper stopped working and within 2 days of this happening the car cut out at speed - causing me to fight with the steering (luckily we were travelling on a reasonably straight stretch of road).
Fish Brothers Swindon claimed that they did a complete check on the vehicle but, as we expected, they couldn't find anything wrong and suggested that maybe I had imagined the problem!
If you are considering to buy a Fiat, then please, for your own sake, do not buy one from Fish Brothers Swindon - they truly do their best to give you a complete lack of service and the management is worse than useless!
