2017 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · OV17 FMY

The 2017 Fiat Punto with 99,865 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2025-07-25 at 99,865 miles recorded a pass with no defects. Previous tests from 2024-07-22 and 2023-08-01 also passed without issues, though two consecutive failures on 2025-07-24 and 2024-07-22 at identical mileages were noted as ‘no defects recorded’. This suggests potential administrative or procedural errors rather than mechanical concerns. The absence of recorded defects across all tests indicates consistent compliance with safety standards, though the lack of detailed fault reports limits deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,865 miles over nine years equates to an average of 11,096 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. A notable gap exists between the 2023-08-01 test (71,069 miles) and the 2024-07-22 test (88,212 miles), reflecting a 17,143-mile increase over 11 months, which is within normal parameters. Subsequent annual growth to 99,865 miles shows gradual accumulation without abrupt spikes. The MOT history lacks recurring issues, but the sparse data—particularly the failures without defect listings—may obscure underlying trends in wear or maintenance practices. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older Fiat models, and check for corrosion in the exhaust system, which can degrade over time. The brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, as these components often show signs of gradual deterioration. Additionally, the vehicle’s structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body seams, warrants scrutiny to identify hidden rust or damage. While the MOT records do not flag these areas, their prevalence in similar models necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
