2012 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · JE55 ABE

The 2012 Fiat Punto stands as roadworthy per the latest examination. In the May 2025 test at 59,012 miles, the tester recorded a pass with no defects. This result continues a stable maintenance trend across five consecutive annual MOTs. Back in May 2021 at 42,586 miles, the car also passed cleanly, and each subsequent test repeated that outcome. The vehicle shows no worsening faults nor resolving advisories because none were ever logged. Mileage advanced from 42,586 in May 2021 to 59,012 by May 2025. That spread averages near 4,100 miles per year, low for a fourteen-year-old hatchback. Each test date sits roughly twelve months apart; no gap exceeds thirteen months. The sparse record carries zero defects, which hints previous owners drove lightly and likely kept the car garaged. Such low use can reflect careful ownership, yet also long stationary periods. No recurring mechanical issues appear in the DVSA data. A clean sheet across suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions and structural checks suggests basic servicing kept pace. Still, a buyer should physically verify components the annual test may not expose. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for age cracking, brake discs for corrosion pitting, and sill structures for rust. Low annual mileage often hides perished seals and flat-spotted tyres from standing, so a pre-purchase check remains prudent.
