2009 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · CY09 ECV

The 2009 Fiat Punto presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2025-06-23 at 67,047 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared every test from the 2023 cycle onward once minor administrative re-tests were completed, showing no escalating defects. Two earlier failures on 2023-06-22 and 2025-06-23 list no defects recorded, indicating the tester raised a non-mechanical refusal such as a documentation or equipment issue rather than a worn component. Recorded mileage sits at 67,047 against an age of seventeen years, averaging just 3,944 miles per year. The car added only 1,337 miles between the June 2024 pass at 65,710 miles and the June 2025 pass, and 1,557 miles across the prior year to the 2023 pass at 64,157 miles. Such low annual use suggests prolonged standing periods, which typically accelerate rubber perishing, brake seizing, and underbody corrosion even when the test sheet stays clear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after idle spells. The DVSA record carries no advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or tyre condition, so the previous owner appears to have kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged neglect. Given the clean sheet and low mileage, the Punto shows no evidence of recurring mechanical fault trends. Verify underneath for corrosion and check that brakes release freely, as standing time remains the chief risk the MOT data cannot expose.
