2011 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · EY61 MDN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of mechanical inconsistency. The most recent test conducted on 21 November 2024 at 116,618 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. While the history shows previous failures in 2022 and 2023, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the owner has addressed and rectified the issues identified by the testing centre. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,775 miles per year. Between the October 2022 and November 2023 tests, the car covered 5,760 miles, representing a steady and realistic usage profile. The short interval between the failure on 23 November 2023 and the pass on 27 November 2023 at 114,249 miles indicates that the faults were likely minor items requiring immediate repair rather than indicating long-term mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failures in 2022 and 2023, although the specific defect reasons are not detailed in this summary. Given the age of the Fiat Punto, it is vital to inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for this model. Check for worn suspension bushes and leaking shock absorbers, as these are frequent sources of failures after 15 years of use. The clean record from late 2024 suggests the vehicle is currently in good order, but the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the brake system and drivetrain integrity.
