2017 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · DP66 CXZ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is assessed as acceptable , but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in suspension and braking components, particularly regarding the front axle and rear axle. The most recent test on 2026-02-11 at 68,300 miles was passed, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained structural integrity and drivetrain performance for approximately two years. However, the subsequent tests show a clear deterioration in suspension and braking systems, with the most severe faults occurring in the 2026-02-10 test at 68,246 miles. The mileage accumulation over the past three years (up to 68,300 miles) suggests a rapid accumulation of wear rather than a stable pattern. This is particularly concerning given the vehicle's age of approximately nine years; while lower mileage can indicate lighter use or long standing, the consistent progression of faults over a three-year period points to a lack of regular servicing. The test dates show a significant gap between the 2026-02-11 and 2026-02-10 tests, and the 2025-01-30 test occurred roughly two years prior to the most recent failure, which creates a notable lack of maintenance records between the 2023-11-29 and 2025-01-30 periods. Given the recurring faults in the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the front and rear axle hubs, ball joints, and bushings for play and wear. Similarly, the brake discs, calipers, and pads must be examined for corrosion, binding, or structural integrity, as the "thin" brake pad in the 2023-11-29 test suggests a need for replacement. The rear child seat and front nail in the 2023-11-29 test indicate that the vehicle has not been inspected for structural safety or child restraint systems, which is a critical safety requirement for a 2017 model. The rear stop lamp in the 2023-11-29 test also requires verification, as the "non-obligatory" status means the light may not be functional.
