2010 Fiat Punto EVO 1.4L Petrol · NX60 DXW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 27 February 2025 at 163,877 miles. This recent result shows no recorded defects, indicating that the owner successfully addressed previous issues identified in earlier tests. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest the car is currently being maintained to a functional standard despite its high mileage. At 163,877 miles over 16 years, the Punto averages approximately 10,242 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between April 2023 and March 2024, and another 14,393 miles between March 2024 and February 2025. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake components associated with stationary cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the high mileage and age, a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system is essential, as these are common wear points on the Punto Evo. The chassis should also be inspected for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear mounting points, as high-mileage vehicles from this era often suffer from surface rust that may not yet be captured in MOT advisories.
