2012 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · ML02 JES

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 87,842 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in October 2024 and November 2022, suggesting that the owner is proactively addressing mechanical issues before they become failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 60,076 miles and November 2025 at 87,842 miles, the car covered 27,766 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The single failure in November 2023 at 70,717 miles was immediately followed by a pass on the same day, which implies a minor component failure that was rectified quickly rather than a systemic issue of neglect. While the recent records show a lack of advisories, a buyer should still focus on common wear points for a Fiat Punto of this age. Given the low mileage, components are more likely to suffer from age-related degradation than high-frequency wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, and check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as these often affect vehicles that sit for longer periods. A physical inspection of the rear sills and wheel arches remains essential to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised despite the clean MOT history.
