2004 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · MF54 AVL

The 2004 Fiat Punto presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 11 December 2021 at 82,234 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle met statutory requirements at that point. Relative to the current date of 16 July 2026, the last test is over four and a half years old, meaning the car has not been subjected to mandatory annual inspection within that window and its present condition is unverified by DVSA data. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 22-year-old vehicle. The records show 61,411 miles at the June 2017 test, rising to 82,234 by December 2021, a total accumulation of 20,823 miles over roughly four and a half years, equating to about 3,738 miles per annum. No rapid accumulation or irregular jumps appear between tests, and the clean pass sheets from 2017 through 2021 indicate the prior keeper maintained the car to a basic standard with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension, or emissions. The sparse five-entry history shows no failures, advisories, or recurring faults. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and independent inspection before purchase given the elapsed time since the last test. Although the 2021 record shows no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake defects, a Punto of this age commonly develops structural rust at sills and subframes, degraded coil springs, and perished rubber components through prolonged standing. The low annual mileage suggests periods of inactivity that accelerate tyre cracking and brake caliper seizure. Verify the odometer reading matches the 82,234 miles logged in 2021 and confirm no unrecorded mileage has been concealed. Inspect brake discs for pitting from disuse, check exhaust emissions against current limits, and examine the underbody for invasive corrosion absent from the historical advisories.
