2012 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · CV12 XBU

The 2012 Fiat Punto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 January 2026 at 130,406 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the last three annual cycles. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,300 miles, typical for a fourteen-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 109,331 miles in January 2023, 117,769 in January 2024, 124,410 in January 2025, and 130,406 in January 2026. The DVSA log is sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. One anomaly appears on 16 January 2024, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of recorded advisories across five years suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, though MOT passes with zero advisories at this age warrant scrutiny. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion, as these items commonly degrade on high-mileage Puntos without triggering test failures until worn severely. Given the 130,406-mile figure and the car's age, verify service history and check for structural rust at sill and suspension mounting points. The clean record implies reasonable care, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent given the mileage.
