2014 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · BG64 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2023-09-29 at 44,145 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failed test with identical mileage and no recorded issues. This inconsistency in the MOT records raises questions about data accuracy or potential administrative errors. No defects were noted in prior tests, including the 2022-09-09 and 2021-09-10 MOTs, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the absence of MOT results since 2023-09-29—over three years—limits insight into recent mechanical conditions. The vehicle’s mileage of 44,145 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 3,679 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation, which may lead to component stiffness or corrosion, particularly in systems like the suspension or exhaust. The MOT history shows no gaps in testing between 2021 and 2023, but the lack of data post-2023 means the current state of wear on consumables (e.g., tyres, brakes) remains unverified. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles often experience stiffness in these areas. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, given the potential for inactivity. Structural integrity is not flagged in the records, but the absence of recent MOTs necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm no hidden issues have developed. The clean defect history is reassuring, but the sparse data post-2023 requires caution.
