2014 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · CV64 DNE

The 2014 Fiat Punto presents as roadworthy following a pass on 15 October 2025 at 117,453 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with every recorded test from January 2023 onward resulting in a pass or a no-defect failure. The only blemish is a failure on 9 October 2025 at 117,385 miles where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, reversed six days later by a clean pass. Recorded mileage sits at 117,453 against a 12-year lifespan, averaging roughly 9,800 miles per year and matching typical use for this age of supermini. The jump from 95,927 miles on 9 January 2023 to 96,895 on 20 April 2023 shows light early-year running, then a larger climb to 114,229 by 17 October 2024 and 117,385 by October 2025. A near 18-month gap separates the April 2023 and October 2024 tests, leaving the intervening wear pattern unverified, though the sparse, clean record implies no sustained neglect was captured by DVSA. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's mileage and the unrecorded period between 2023 and 2024 tests. The absence of advisories across all entries means no corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers were flagged, but high-mileage Fiats of this era commonly develop subframe rust and worn steering linkages not always caught in a pass. Verify the October 2025 no-defect failure cause with the testing station, as the paperwork offers no mechanical explanation for the rejected certificate.
