2004 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · RA54 ALU

The 2004 Fiat Punto shows a consistently clear MOT history, with the latest available test on 16 February 2022 at 80,529 miles recording a pass and no defects. Across the five examinations between 21 February 2017 and that 2022 test, the vehicle met standards without a single advisory or failure. The maintenance trend is stable, indicating previous owners addressed any required work to pass each annual check, though the absence of advisories means latent wear may exist undetected. Recorded mileage rose from 75,895 at the February 2017 test to 80,529 by February 2022, a total increase of 4,634 miles over five years. That averages around 927 miles per year, marking exceptionally light use for a 22 year old hatchback. A noticeable interval separates the 10 May 2019 pass at 76,806 miles and the 23 February 2021 pass at 77,226 miles, spanning roughly twenty one months and probably tied to MOT deadline extensions. The dataset is thin but unblemished, suggesting the car was kept to minimum legal roadworthiness rather than driven hard. A buyer must still commission a physical inspection before purchase. Long periods of low mileage and standing invite corrosion to structural members such as sills and suspension subframes, so the tester should probe for rust penetration. Suspension bushes and coil springs often perish when idle, and brake calipers can seize after disuse, leaving binding on the discs. Exhaust rubber mounts and emissions components may degrade despite clean historical tests.
