2006 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AD56 FGV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The final test conducted on February 2, 2023 at 176,395 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety standards at that time. While the history shows immediate failures followed by successful passes, the lack of ongoing advisory notes suggests that any identified issues were rectified promptly rather than allowed to develop into chronic mechanical failures. At 176,395 miles, this twenty-year-old Fiat has averaged approximately 8,820 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a car of this age. The data shows a significant interval of 12,748 miles covered between January 2021 and January 2022, and another 18,523 miles covered between January 2022 and February 2023. However, there has been no recorded activity since the February 2023 test, meaning the vehicle is currently over three years overdue for an MOT MOT and the current state of the mechanical components is unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and wheel arches for advanced corrosion, which is common on vehicles of this era. Given the high mileage and the lapse in recent testing, the suspension system should be examined for perished rubber bushes, worn coil springs or leaking shock absorbers. The brake system also requires scrutiny for signs of binding calipers or thinning brake discs, as the record does not detail the specific condition of these consumable items during the final year of operation.
