FIAT PUNTO1998 · 1.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT record is from March 2007, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. However, there is a complete absence of MOT data for the nearly 20 years following that date. The available history shows a recurring mechanical issue in 2006 involving excessive play in the offside rear suspension arm pin or bush, which caused multiple failures. Other recorded defects included incorrect tyre sizes being fitted on the same axle and deteriorated rear lighting. The vehicle has covered only 55,893 miles over 28 years, averaging roughly 1,996 miles per year. This very low mileage suggests the car has likely experienced long periods of standing. While the mechanical trend appeared to be stable by the time of the 2007 pass, long periods of under-use often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized brakes, and corrosion. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the underside for corrosion and check the condition of the tyres and brakes for signs of age-related perishability or seizing. The rear suspension and steering components should also be thoroughly examined.
