2008 Fiat Punto 1.2L Diesel · CX08 NNC

The Fiat Punto shows a passed roadworthiness status at its most recent test on 3 July 2023 at 95,030 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The same-day failure on 3 July 2023 at identical mileage carries no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests on 21 June 2022 at 94,121 miles and 5 July 2021 at 92,688 miles also passed with no advisories, giving a clean four-year snapshot with no worsening conditions. The recorded mileage of 95,030 at the 2023 test reflects low use for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,279 miles per year. The car covered only 1,342 miles between July 2021 and June 2022, then 909 miles to July 2023, confirming long standing periods. Sparse testing history with no intermediate entries means wear from inactivity, such as perished rubber suspension bushes or seized brake calipers, will not show in the data. A buyer should physically inspect the subframe and sills for corrosion, as structural rust commonly develops on low-mileage cars left unused. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs or exhaust emissions, but standing storage risks flat-spotted tyres and degraded fluid. Verify the 2023 same-day fail cause with DVSA, then commission a pre-purchase check of suspension joints and handbrake function before committing.
