2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · DU07 OVP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on November 4, 2025 at 88,158 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a pattern of reactive repairs immediately prior to testing. While the most recent inspection showed no defects, the recurring failures in October 2024 and October 2025 suggest that the previous owner only addresses faults when they reach a critical threshold necessary to pass the MOT test, rather than performing preventative mechanical maintenance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 88,158 miles represents a very low average of approximately 4,640 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage, with only 1,354 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 1,575 miles between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage profile often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to lack of use rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension, as low-mileage older vehicles are prone to rust in the sills and wheel arches. Given the history of failures without recorded defects in the passes, you should check for binding brake calipers and worn suspension bushes that may have been replaced just before the recent tests. Pay close attention to the tyres for of sidewall cracking, as long-standing vehicles often suffer from age rot despite having sufficient tread depth.
