2004 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AD04 EUJ

The most recent DVSA entry shows a failed test on 23 November 2021 at 136,585 miles, with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at the same mileage. This contradictory pair leaves the roadworthiness status unverified by the record alone. The maintenance trend cannot be assessed as stable, worsening, or improving because only one reporting day exists in the history and no advisories or faults were logged. The odometer stood at 136,585 miles at the November 2021 test, giving an average of roughly 6,208 miles per year across the vehicle's 22 years. That figure is typical for a 2004 supermini. The record shows no earlier entries, so we cannot track accumulation or detect gaps before late 2021. Given the car is now roughly four and a half years beyond its last recorded test, the MOT data is stale and tells us nothing about present condition. A buyer must treat this as an untested vehicle. The same-day fail with no defects suggests an administrative error or a previously unmet requirement such as documentation, not a mechanical fault. Still, with no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the history offers no warning signs but equally no assurance. In person, inspect structural integrity for rust at sills and subframes, check suspension for worn bushes or leaking dampers, and confirm brake calipers are free. Verify the timing belt history and engine emissions, as a 2004 Fiat petrol unit at 136k miles will need evidence of belt changes. Book a fresh MOT before purchase.
