2010 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · CX60 FSV

The Fiat Punto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 20 January 2026 at 102,262 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in January 2025, January 2024, and January 2023 each passed cleanly with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has avoided recurring mechanical or structural faults across the observed period. The single failure on 9 January 2023 at 154,564 miles listed no defects, with the car passing the very next day, which suggests an administrative or test-error anomaly rather than a genuine fault. The mileage record shows an irregular pattern that warrants scrutiny. Between the January 2023 test at 154,564 miles and the January 2024 test at 157,799 miles the car covered only 3,235 miles, then 3,454 miles to January 2025 at 161,253 miles, implying light use. Yet the most recent test on 20 January 2026 shows 102,262 miles, a drop of nearly 59,000 miles from the prior year. Such a reversal is not consistent with normal odometer behaviour and points to a likely recording error in the DVLA/MOT data or a replacement cluster, not a genuine reduction in use. At roughly 16 years old the stated 102,262 miles would equate to typical annual coverage, but the conflicting figures prevent firm conclusions on wear rate. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage via service history, V5C, and previous owner records before purchase, given the contradictory odometer entries. Although no advisories flag suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across the clean tests, a 2010 Punto at this age remains prone to underbody rust and degraded rubber mountings even where the MOT omitted comments. Inspect the subframe, sills, and suspension arms for structural corrosion, and confirm brake calipers are free and exhaust emissions remain within limits. The absence of recorded faults reflects a favourable test history, but the unexplained mileage drop means the buyer must validate actual wear on consumables and drivetrain before relying on the stated figure.
