2007 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · ML57 AHU

The latest MOT on 16 January 2026, conducted at 147,987 miles, passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable. Earlier failures at the same mileage on 9 January 2026 and 9 January 2025 were followed by successful retests on 11 January 2025 and 16 January 2026, indicating that any issues were corrected rather than worsening. The mileage has risen from 124,906 miles in January 2024 to 147,987 miles by January 2026, an increase of roughly 13,000 miles per year, which aligns with the typical 7,800‑mile annual average for a 19‑year‑old car. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, as tests occur at regular intervals and the recorded mileage shows consistent use. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and look for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches. Tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the integrity of the exhaust system should also be verified, as these components commonly show signs of age despite the clean defect record. Overall, the MOT history suggests the Fiat Punto has been maintained without major mechanical failures, but a thorough physical inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of high‑risk items before purchase.
