2009 Abarth Punto 1.4L Petrol · RO59 BWD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 May 2026 at 115,987 miles returned no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This flawless streak suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed minor mechanical and safety issues before they resulted in MOT failures, maintaining the car in peak operational condition. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between April 2022 and May 2026, the car covered 10,974 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 2,700 to 3,000 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or seized brake components. The regular intervals between tests further reflect a disciplined owner who has kept the vehicle on a predictable service schedule. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that does not always trigger a test failure. A buyer should examine the condition of rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these can become brittle over time despite low mileage. Given the vehicle's age, checking for early-stage surface corrosion on the structural sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
