2017 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · EY67 EOE

This 2017 Fiat Punto has maintained a consistent MOT pass history across all four recorded tests, with no defects or advisories noted in any of the inspections. The most recent test, conducted on 30 May 2025 at 34,014 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the absence of any recorded issues means no direct evidence exists for wear patterns in critical systems. The stability of the record suggests either diligent maintenance by previous owners or that the vehicle has been driven in conditions minimising stress on high-wear components. The mileage progression indicates unusually low annual mileage—approximately 3,779 miles per year—over the past nine years, which is well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are regular, with roughly 12-month intervals between each MOT, and no sudden spikes or drops in mileage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components, it can also imply prolonged periods of inactivity, potentially accelerating corrosion in underbody and wheel arch areas. The lack of advisories does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in areas like wheel bearings or brake caliper binding, which may not always manifest visibly until driven. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including the condition of bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles that have stood unused. The brakes, despite no recorded failures, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion is another critical factor; the underbody, wheel arches, and subframe should be examined for rust penetration, especially around welds and seams, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate deterioration. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be inspected for leaks or blockages, as these are common failure points in vehicles with irregular use.
