2004 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · MK54 AKZ

The Fiat Punto passed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 91,350 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthy status. Mechanical trend across the available five-year record reads stable, as every test from the 26 October 2023 pass at 79,411 miles through to the latest examination logged zero advisories or faults. Two interim failures on 25 October 2023 at 79,288 miles and 16 October 2025 at 91,128 miles disrupt an otherwise clean sheet, yet the DVSA entry cites no defects for either, pointing to administrative or presentation anomalies rather than worsening mechanical condition. At roughly 22 years old the Punto shows 91,350 recorded miles, equating to a low average of about 4,150 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 79,411 miles at the October 2023 pass to 85,320 miles by 17 October 2024, then to 91,350 miles by October 2025, reflecting steady light annual use of under 6,100 miles each interval. Sparse history before 2023 limits long-term judgement, but the recent cadence suggests a vehicle kept predominantly for short, infrequent journeys or periods of storage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT entries do not detail. The tester recorded no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs or exhaust emissions faults, but a 2004 chassis with low mileage may conceal dormant corrosion in sills and subframes that compromises structural integrity after prolonged standing. Verify the reasons behind the two no-defect failures directly with DVSA records, as previous keepers may have presented the car without valid identifiers or paperwork, implying lax test preparation rather than mechanical neglect.
