2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · LM07 FLV

The 2007 Fiat Punto appears currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 24 March 2023 at 98,525 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a momentary failure on the same day that was immediately rectified. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing issues to ensure compliance, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without significant mechanical failures in the previous tests. The vehicle's mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,186 miles per year. Between February 2021 and March 2022, the car covered 4,063 miles, while it added another 5,308 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This low usage pattern indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related rubber degradation such as seals, bushes, and tyres, which can perish over time regardless of distance travelled. While the MOT history is clean of recurring mechanical faults, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension components. Fiat vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches, which the MOT may not flag until they become a structural failure. Given the low mileage, check for fluid leaks or cracks in rubber hoses and corrosion on the brake discs, as these components can degrade when a vehicle sits for long periods between uses.
