2011 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · DA11 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 09 September 2025 at 102,505 miles. Although the car failed a test exactly one day prior at the same mileage, the lack of recorded defects on either certificate suggests an administrative error or a failure that was rectified immediately without significant mechanical deconstruction. Since 2022, the car has maintained consecutive clean passes without any advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety-critical components have been maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage pattern is remarkably regular for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 89,285 miles and the September 2025 test at 102,505 miles, the car covered 13,220 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,400 miles annually. This low annual mileage reduces risks associated with high-frequency drivetrain wear but can sometimes lead to perished seals or seized brake calipers, though the age of the vehicle still necessitates scrutiny of age-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for vehicles of this era. Despite the clean record, the lack of recorded advisories means the tester did not flag thinning suspension bushes or rubber components that are nearing the end of their life. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the brake fluid and the surface of the brake discs to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from corrosion during long periods of standing between tests.
