2016 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · AN16 AAA

The vehicle presents a roadworthy profile, having passed its most recent inspection on 14 January 2026 at 77,385 miles. Despite a failure on that same day, the immediate pass suggests a minor, non-structural defect that the owner rectified quickly before the retest. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has avoided recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories across the last three successful test cycles, dating back to November 2023. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The data shows regular usage with a 4,800-mile interval recorded between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,700 miles covered between December 2024 and January 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the car is driven regularly, which is beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing brake calipers from seizing due to age-related degradation of rubber components. While the MOT history is clean of recorded advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Fiat Punto wear points relevant to this mileage. At 77,000 miles, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of cracking or fatigue. The buyer should also inspect the underside for corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT only flags structural rust once it reaches a significant threshold. Given the recent failures followed by immediate passes, verifying the condition of light bulbs or minor trim components that triggered those initial failures would be a prudent step.
