2008 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AA08 ETL

The 2008 Fiat Punto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 119,453 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old car. The record shows 57,409 miles in May 2021, rising to 70,269 by May 2022, 87,578 by June 2023, 105,508 by June 2024, and 119,453 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles between 2021 and 2022 then a steadier 17,000 to 18,000 annually, before the longer gap to 2025. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with no advisories or failures listed across the span, which suggests the previous keeper kept the car to a basic pass standard rather than documenting wear items. A buyer should still inspect structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the test sheets record no advisories yet an eighteen-year-old Fiat of this era is prone to hidden rust. Check the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not captured by a pass result. Given the clean history, no recurring mechanical faults emerge to signal worsening condition. The absence of flagged tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers implies consumables were addressed before each test. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm the body and underside match the paper record.
