2004 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · MK54 AHO

The 2004 Fiat Punto presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 16 November 2022 at 91,896 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, and the preceding four tests from 2018 through 2021 likewise recorded no faults. The maintenance history shows no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring advisories that would signal neglect. The odometer reflects notably low use for a 22-year-old vehicle. Recorded mileage rose from 80,551 in May 2018 to 91,896 by November 2022, an accumulation of just 11,345 miles over roughly four and a half years, averaging under 2,500 miles annually. A gap exists between the May 2019 test at 84,034 miles and the November 2020 test at 88,448 miles, where the car shifted from a spring to an autumn testing cycle. Such low yearly coverage suggests extended standing periods, which on a Fiat of this era typically risks perished rubber components and corrosion rather than drivetrain fatigue. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe integrity given the vehicle's age and likely static storage. The MOT record flags no binding calipers, worn brake discs, or exhaust emissions failures, yet DVSA testers issue no advisory on hidden structural rust beneath sills or wheel arches. Check the coolant hoses and tyre sidewalls for cracking from infrequent movement. Verify the 2022 pass remains the final test on file, as the car is now over three years past its last examination relative to today's date of 16 July 2026. Without a current certificate the Punto cannot be legally driven and may have deteriorated in storage since November 2022.
