2017 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · BD17 OBK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 19 March 2026 at 19,388 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect record over the last five years. This suggests the vehicle has remained in a technically sound operating condition without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,154 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered only 38 miles, indicating long periods of stationary storage or very minimal use. However, a slight increase in activity occurred between March 2025 and March 2026, where the vehicle clocked 592 miles in the annual period. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluidrelated issues. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for signs of age associated with low-use storage. Particular attention should be paid to cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished suspension bushes, which often fail regardless of mileage. The brake discs should be checked for surface pitting or seized calipers, as these components suffer when vehicles sit for extended periods. Checking the structural integrity for surface corrosion on the sills and arches remains essential to ensure low mileage has not masked hidden environmental damage.
