1998 FIAT PUNTO1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents an incomplete roadworthiness profile due to the documented MOT history ending abruptly nearly nineteen years ago. The last recorded test in May 2007 at 105,054 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, suggesting the vehicle was stable at that specific point in time. Given the current date of June 2026, the mechanical state of the Fiat Punto is unknown through official records, and the lack of any recent testing indicates the car has likely been off the road or operated without legal certification. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,752 miles per year. The record shows a jump from 89,198 miles in June 2005 to 105,054 miles in May 2007, representing roughly 16,000 miles covered over two years. While low mileage often implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long period of inactivity following the final entry entry risks degrading rubber components, seized brake calipers, and internal fluid breakdown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and mechanical seals, as the history previously flagged recurring issues with suspension arm bushes and brake systems. The 2005 failure highlighted a major oil leak from the sump and deteriorated suspension bushings, which require verification to ensure they were properly rectified. Furthermore, the 2006 test identified corroded nearside front brake pipes and swollen handbrake cables, indicating the vehicle was prone to corrosion-related failures. Given the vast gap in the last record, the condition of fuel lines, brake lines, and perished gaskets are critical priorities before any purchase.
