2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · M25 TAR

The vehicle passed the February 2026 MOT at 105,471 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance history shows a stable trend: every annual test from November 2021 through February 2026 resulted in a pass, and no recurring faults have appeared. The most recent test reinforces that the car remains within legal standards at the time of inspection. Mileage accumulation has slowed markedly over the six‑year span. Between November 2021 (79,396 mi) and November 2022 (91,378 mi) the odometer rose by 11,982 mi, whereas the gain from November 2023 (97,564 mi) to November 2024 (102,144 mi) was only 4,580 mi. The increase from November 2024 to February 2026 added a further 3,327 mi in roughly fifteen months. This decreasing rate suggests lighter use or periods of storage, resulting in a relatively low average of about 5,500 mi per year for a nineteen‑year‑old vehicle. With a clean MOT record, the buyer should still conduct a hands‑on inspection of components prone to gradual wear. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, test the rear‑brake calipers for binding, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. Check tyre tread depth and uneven wear patterns, as low mileage does not guarantee tyre health. Inspect the under‑body and wheel arches for rust, and listen for exhaust leaks or abnormal engine noises. A visual check of the steering column and linkage will reveal any looseness that may have gone unnoticed during the tests. These checks will complement the MOT history and ensure the car’s mechanical integrity before purchase.
