2012 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · CV62 FCJ

The Fiat Punto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 80,943 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a failure with no defects listed, indicating an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. Across the prior four years the vehicle passed every test cleanly, with no advisories or recorded wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2012 vehicle. It covered 56,878 miles at the 21 September 2022 test, rose to 61,510 by 26 September 2023, then 69,918 by 26 September 2024, and reached 80,943 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,800 miles per year, confirming gentle annual accumulation with no sudden gaps or rapid spikes. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, showing no consumable neglect such as worn tyres or wiper blades and no serious mechanical risks across the period. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. Low mileage over fourteen years can mask perished rubber components, standing-water corrosion to sills and subframes, and degraded fluid in the braking and cooling systems. The tester flagged nothing, but absence of advisories on a Fiat of this age does not confirm sound suspension arms or free-moving calipers. Check the underbody for structural rust, inspect coil springs and track-rod ends for age cracking, and verify brake balance on a road test. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, yet the lack of recorded intervention suggests minimal proactive maintenance beyond the statutory minimum.
