2004 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AF04 ACZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 29 October 2025 at 78,674 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, evidenced by four consecutive clean passes over the last four years. Although a failure was recorded just two days prior to the successful pass at the same mileage, the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately without leaving a trail of mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,576 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent but gradual accumulation, moving from 57,667 miles in October 2022 to 78,674 miles by late 2025. This low rate of usage typically indicates less wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of inactivity can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid integrity, which are not always captured by mileage alone. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and sills for structural rust, as these older Fiat vehicles from this era are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. Given the car has been used infrequently, check for perished brake hoses, seized caliper pistons, and tyre flat-ting from standing stationary. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing, ensuring that the low mileage has not masked the natural aging of the plastic and rubber components.
