2009 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · PN59 XSO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 1 2024, at 71,822 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has avoided recorded defects or advisories in its most recent inspections. While the history shows two immediate failures on the test dates in 2022 and 2024, the owner has consistently rectified the necessary issues to achieve a pass each time. With a recorded mileage of 71,822 miles over 17 years, the car averages only approximately 4,225 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests light road use, but it also often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than wear from distance. Between the July 2023 test at 68,126 miles and the August 2024 test at 71,822 miles, the vehicle covered just 3,696 miles, confirming a consistent pattern of low-distance travel or long periods of stationary time. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity, as older Fiat models of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, especially if left for long periods. The low mileage does not guarantee the condition of suspension bushes or brake lines which can perish and crack over time despite lack of use. Check for signs of binding calipers or perished tyres, as the low annual mileage often masks flat spots or dry rot in the rubber compounds.
