2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AG07 AEB

The vehicle currently presents an uncertain roadworthiness status as the MOT certificate has expired nearly four years ago. The last recorded test on 31 October 2022 at 105,906 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed, suggesting a significant mechanical or emissions-related failure that prevented certification. Given that no tests have been recorded since 2022, the maintenance trend is stalled, and the vehicle likely suffers from age-related corrosion or component degradation during this extended period of inactivity. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,574 miles per year. Between the October 2020 test at 91,508 miles and the October 2022 test at 105,906 miles, the car covered 14,398 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests suggest that rubber-based components such as suspension bushes, tyres, and brake lines may have begun to perish or dry rot from the car sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and underbody, as Fiat vehicles of this era are prone to significant rust in the sills and rear wheel arches. The history shows recurring failures in 2020 and 2021 despite low mileage, which indicates the vehicle consistently struggled to meet basic safety standards without intervention. Specific attention should be paid to seized brake calipers and perished suspension components, as the low usage pattern often leads to mechanical seizing that is not visible on a digital record alone.
