2010 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · RK60 PYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 101,618 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a significant failure in early 2023. While the 2026 test identified an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly, the lack of recorded defects in the preceding three tests suggests the core mechanical components remained compliant recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,350 miles per year. There is a notable jump of 13,614 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, followed by a more standard increase of 10,974 miles in the final year. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, though the 16-year age of the Fiat Punto remains susceptibility to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals despite the relatively low-mileage profile. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment due to the April 2026 advisory regarding the offside front tyre worn on the edge. This often indicates issues with worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking geometry rather than simple tyre age. Furthermore, while the 2023 failure for an exhaust leak and high hydrocarbon emissions was resolved, a physical inspection of the exhaust manifold and piping is necessary to ensure no new leaks or catalytic converter damage has developed. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans is essential as the record shows no evidence of structural failure to date.
