2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · LB07 TRX

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows signs of gradual degradation, with the most recent MOT in February 2022 at 113,177 miles flagging several mechanical concerns. While the car passed, the tester identified an oil leak and noted that both front and rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. These issues suggest that while the vehicle remains functional, the maintenance of core braking components and sealing integrity has begun to slip. The mileage history indicates a low-use pattern, averaging approximately 5,957 miles per year over its 19-year lifespan. The data shows consistent annual testing from 2010 through 2022, though a significant gap exists between the February 2022 test and the current date in July 2026. This four-year lapse in recorded testing is a critical concern, as it leaves the current mechanical state and legal roadworthiness entirely unverified. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and engine bay. The recurring presence of pitted brake discs and the most recent report of an oil leak necessitate a close look at the underside for active leaks and the condition of the brake calipers and discs. The 2017 record also flagged corroded front coil springs, so the structural integrity of the suspension components should be checked for advanced oxidation or fatigue. Frequent advisories regarding tyres worn to the legal limit across multiple years, such as in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2018, suggest a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The owner appears to have addressed consumables only when they reached the point of failure or inspection. Given the long period since the last recorded MOT, a comprehensive inspection of all rubber seals, suspension bushes, and fluid levels is essential to mitigate the risks associated with long-term stationary periods.
