2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · EG07 ABV

The current roadworthiness status of this Fiat Punto appears stable, with the vehicle successfully passing its most recent MOT on 4 November 2025. While the record shows a recurring pattern of initial test failures followed by immediate passes on the same day during the 2024 and 2025 cycles, these instances lack recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle may have been presented for testing while requiring minor adjustments or that administrative anomalies occurred at the testing station rather than reflecting significant mechanical degradation. With a total of 98,875 miles over 19 years, the vehicle averages approximately 5,200 miles annually, which is relatively low for a car of this vintage. The MOT history remains remarkably clean, showing no recorded advisories or failures related to structural corrosion, suspension wear, or emissions over the last three years. This consistency indicates that the car has likely been kept in a dry environment or received proactive maintenance, though the low usage rate warrants a check for potential issues associated with long periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically suffer from age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes, track rod ends, and CV joint gaiters for perishing, as these items often degrade due to time rather than distance covered. Examine the brake discs for surface oxidation caused by infrequent use and verify that the handbrake mechanism operates smoothly without binding. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check underneath for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans remains essential, as these areas are prone to rust even when the vehicle has been lightly used.
