2002 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · FL02 AON

The 2002 Fiat Punto presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. In the August 2022 test at 89,475 miles the tester passed the vehicle with no advisories, and the prior September 2021 examination at 88,223 miles also returned a clean pass. The maintenance record shows no worsening or recurring fault pattern over this window. The mileage data reveals exceptionally low annual use for a 24 year old vehicle. Between September 2021 and August 2022 the Punto covered just 1,252 miles, averaging roughly 3,728 miles per year across its life. This sparse history, with only two tests on file and no gaps in validity, suggests either gentle private use or prolonged periods off the road rather than neglected high mileage wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low standing mileage on a 2002 chassis raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized suspension bushes, and structural corrosion in sills or floor pans that a short test may not expose. The brake calipers and discs may have suffered from binding through inactivity. Verify the documented 89,475 miles against service stamps and V5C history. Confirm tyre sidewall condition, coolant integrity, and cam belt replacement evidence, as these consumables degrade with time rather than distance on a low use car.
