2014 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · EY14 AKG

The vehicle holds a roadworthiness rating of 100% on the 2026-06-18 test, but the MOT history reveals a persistent trend of deterioration rather than a stable maintenance pattern. The most recent inspection was on 2026-04-14, which passed with 70,176 miles, indicating that the vehicle was tested shortly after the current date. This immediate proximity to the present suggests the car has not undergone a significant period of rest or repair since the initial test, which could imply a lack of proper upkeep. The mileage accumulation follows a pattern of rapid growth, accelerating from 67,418 miles in 2025-04-14 to 63,381 miles in 2024-04-15. This rapid decline in mileage over the last year indicates that the vehicle is not running at a safe speed and is likely experiencing accelerated wear on critical components. Such an acceleration is a clear signal that basic upkeep was skipped during the ownership period, leading to the accumulation of wear that is now becoming a structural risk. Given the recurring faults and the accelerating mileage, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear before proceeding. Specific areas requiring immediate attention include the suspension and brakes, where the front and rear brake discs show pitting and scoring that may indicate corrosion or binding. Furthermore, the constant velocity boots on the drive shafts and the rear coil springs have been found corroded, which could lead to premature failure. The front and rear tyres also show signs of separation and partial failure, which poses a risk to the structural integrity of the vehicle. If the buyer does not address these identified issues, the risk of a future MOT failure or a serious mechanical failure is high.
