1998 FIAT PUNTO1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its documented history, though the data is now critically outdated. The last recorded test occurred in September 2011 at 110,924 miles, where it passed despite a noted noise from the offside rear wheel area. Because no tests have been recorded for over fourteen years, the current roadworthiness of the car cannot be verified. The lack of recent data suggests the vehicle has either been in long-term storage or has operated outside of the UK MOT testing framework. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of 28 years old, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between January 2007 and September 2011, the car covered roughly 35,000 miles, showing consistent but low-intensity usage. However, the mileage remaining static at 110,924 since 2011 indicates the vehicle has sat stationary for a decade. Long periods of inactivity often lead to degradation of rubber-based components, such as perished brake hoses and seized caliper calipers, which are not captured by a low mileage figure alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and the components affected by age. The early light misting on the nearside front shock absorber recorded in 2007 necessitates a check for significant oil leakage today given the elapsed time. The offside rear wheel noise noted in 2011 requires an investigation into the wheel bearing and brake assembly condition. Given the age and dormancy, the priority should be identifying deep corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and exhaust system, as these areas suffer regardless of how many miles are driven.
