2008 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AE08 TYR

The 2008 Fiat Punto presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 18 March 2025 at 114,735 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 16 March 2024 at 103,267 miles also passed clean. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 114,735 against an 18 year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,374 miles per year which is typical for the age. The history shows a clean accumulation pattern: 88,942 miles on 1 October 2022, rising to 101,068 by 2 October 2023, then 102,506 at the failed February 2024 attempt and 103,267 at the March 2024 pass. A single unexplained failure on 15 February 2024 at 102,506 miles shows no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded issue rather than mechanical fault. The sparse five entry record carries no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. The MOT data omits structural integrity checks and cannot confirm absence of underbody rust on a 2008 hatchback. Examine coil springs, track rod ends, and exhaust emissions hardware for age related fatigue not captured by clean tests. Given the clean pass profile and ordinary mileage, previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline. The February 2024 failure with no logged defect warrants a query to confirm it was not a concealed brake or lighting fault later cleared.
