2008 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AF08 AFH

The 2008 Fiat Punto presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean pass recorded on 2 March 2026 at 68,580 miles. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration across the available history. The most recent test follows an anomalous failure on the same date at identical mileage with no defects logged, which suggests an administrative or presentation error at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed every annual examination without advisories. Annual mileage sits low for an eighteen year old vehicle. The record shows 54,050 miles in June 2023, 57,878 miles by March 2024, 62,146 miles in March 2025, and 68,580 miles in March 2026. That averages roughly 3,800 miles per year. The gap between the June 2023 and March 2024 tests spans nine months yet covers only 3,828 miles, confirming light use. No rapid accumulation or missing-year gaps appear in the DVSA data. The clean sheet across all entries indicates the previous keeper kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low mileage Fiats of this era commonly develop rust at sill and suspension mounting points even when MOTs stay clear. The brake discs and calipers warrant a strip check for binding after storage. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring defect pattern exists to track. Treat the twin 2 March 2026 entries as a clerical anomaly, not evidence of hidden fault. Verify the V5C and ask the seller to confirm the test outcome before purchase.
