2007 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · CX07 XOV

The 2007 Fiat Punto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 December 2024 at 115,751 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in December 2023 and December 2022 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 12 December 2023 at 115,530 miles, where the DVSA log shows no defects listed; the owner rectified whatever the tester queried within two days and passed again on 14 December 2023 at 115,532 miles. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges across the five-year record. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a nineteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 107,420 miles at the 9 December 2021 test, rose to 112,338 miles by 6 December 2022, and reached 115,530 miles by the December 2023 failure. Annual averages sit near 6,000 miles. The 219-mile gap between the December 2023 fail and pass, plus the 219-mile increase to the 2024 test, indicates the car was barely driven in that final year. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and the salt-exposed UK climate. Brake discs and calipers warrant a check for binding or uneven wear despite no advisories being raised. The December 2023 failure with no recorded defect likely involved a paperwork or emissions-readiness issue rather than a hard mechanical fault, but confirming the test certificate is sensible. Overall, the MOT history implies a lightly used, reasonably maintained Punto with no recurring advisory trend. Previous keepers appear to have kept it to a low annual mileage and passed every test once the brief 2023 rejection was cleared.
