2015 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · DA65 MGX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive care regarding consumables. The most recent test on 29 December 2025 at 57,487 miles identified a minor exhaust leak and a front tyre worn to the legal limit. These issues follow an advisory from January 2025, where two rear tyres were flagged for wear and sidewall damage. While the car continues to pass, the recurrence of tyre-related faults suggests the owner addresses issues upon failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the mileage of 57,487 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,226 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern between 2021 and 2023, where the vehicle covered relatively short distances over two years. However, there is a notable gap in activity between August 2023 and January 2025, where only 658 miles were recorded. This low-use profile often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which aligns with the perishing tyre noted in the early 2025 test. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system specifically to ensure the minor leak identified in December 2025 has been properly rectified and does not indicate deeper corrosion. Given the history of uneven tyre wear and damage, a physical check of the alignment and suspension bushes is necessary to rule out tracking-related issues. Although no structural defects have been recorded, the age of the vehicle warrants a close look for rust on the sills and underbody, which is common on low-mileage cars that sit stationary for extended periods.
