2008 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AF08 ACN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 January 2026 at 65,914 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,662 miles per year. Between 5 December 2023 and 16 January 2026, the odometer increased by only 1,691 miles. Such low usage often indicates the car has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than those seen in high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation from disuse. While the MOT records show no defects, low-mileage older cars often suffer from perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the suspension bushes have not cracked due to age rather than wear. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, as the MOT history is unusually clean for a 2008 model. The absence of advisories regarding rust or exhaust leaks is positive, but a manual check of the sills and chassis rails is necessary to confirm the integrity of the metal. Verify the fluid levels and oil condition to ensure the engine has been regularly serviced despite the low annual mileage.
