2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · MA07 OGN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its clean MOT history over the last four years. The most recent recorded test conducted in February 2022 at 104,111 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at the same mileage. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative oversight or a consumable item that was replaced instantly before the retest, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record without mechanical failures in subsequent inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Data shows a consistent rate of use between 2018 and 2022, with the odometer moving from 91,692 miles to 104,111 miles. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it also often invites age-related degradation such as dry rot in rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and corrosion on the underbody structure. The significant gap in records since February 2022 indicates the vehicle has not been officially tested in over four years, leaving its current roadworthiness status unverified. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension system and structural integrity, as the age of the Fiat often masks hidden rust that low mileage cannot prevent. Check for corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust mounting which are common on this model. Examine the brake system for binding or pitted discs resulting from the car potentially sitting for extended periods. Given the lack of recent test data, a thorough check of the fluid condition and perished hoses is essential to ensure the vehicle has not developed significant mechanical faults since its last 2022 inspection.
