2008 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AC08 AHY

The Fiat Punto shows a current roadworthy status following the October 2022 pass at 95,729 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable in the sense that no defects were ever recorded across the supplied tests. The most recent test on 12 October 2022 returned a clean pass with no advisories. Prior to that, the vehicle failed on 11 October 2022 at 95,726 miles and again on 13 October 2021 at 87,031 miles, yet the DVSA entries list no defects for those failures, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than a documented mechanical fault. The recorded mileage sits at 95,729 against an 18-year-old car, equating to roughly 5,300 miles per year and indicating light use for its age. Between the 9 October 2021 failure at 87,030 miles and the 12 October 2022 pass at 95,729 miles, the car covered only 8,699 miles over a year. The near-identical mileages across the three October 2021 and 2022 retests, with just three miles added between the 11 and 12 October 2022 visits, suggest the owner presented the car for rapid retesting rather than prolonged layup. The sparse record carries no tyre, brake, or corrosion advisories, so the history alone reveals little about consumable wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension bushes given the vehicle's age and the unexplained failure entries. The absence of recorded defects does not confirm sound condition, only that testers logged none. Check brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions in person, as these commonly degrade on low-mileage cars left standing. The repeated same-day failures without noted faults imply the previous owner may have used marginal test centres; verify the car's true mechanical state before purchase.
