MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Fiat Punto (R191 ECL) between November 2005 and October 2025.

The record contains 21 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 17 October 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Lighting (4 issues), Brakes (3 issues), Windscreen (1 issue), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 10 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced INNER ”; “Offside Rear Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a))”; “Offside Front Front constant velocity joint gaiter damaged to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt ”.
