2015 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · RF15 UNE

The Fiat Punto’s MOT history presents a stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 26,739 miles passing without any defects. This follows a single failed test on 11 March 2025 at 23,047 miles , an anomaly with no recorded faults—likely a procedural or administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. The preceding tests in February 2024 (32,536 miles) and February 2023 (17,363 miles) also passed without defects, indicating no recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating trends. The absence of advisories or defects across all tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no signs of neglect in critical areas such as brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. The mileage pattern reveals a low-usage history , averaging just 2,431 miles per year over its 11-year lifespan—a figure well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The jump from 17,363 miles in February 2023 to 32,536 miles in February 2024 (a 15,173-mile increase in a year ) suggests a period of heavier use or a possible odometer discrepancy, though no mechanical red flags accompany this spike. The subsequent drop to 23,052 miles by March 2025 and stagnation at 26,739 miles by March 2026 implies either minimal recent driving or prolonged storage. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables but may also mask potential issues in components like seals, fluids, or battery health, which can degrade even with limited use. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should still verify fluid levels (brake, coolant, oil) and battery condition , as these are not routinely checked during MOTs but are critical for long-term reliability. The suspension components —such as coil springs, dampers, and bushings—should be inspected for wear, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, as moisture ingress can accelerate corrosion. While no brake-related defects appear in the records, a visual and functional check of the braking system is advisable, including the condition of discs, pads, and calipers, to ensure no latent binding or uneven wear has developed. The exhaust system and underbody should also be scrutinised for rust, especially in a low-mileage vehicle where moisture retention could lead to hidden corrosion.
