2015 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · SC15 BZS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test on 31 May 2025 at 47,241 miles passed, it followed a failure on that same day for multiple mechanical and safety defects. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they result in a test failure, evidenced by the recurring issues with the exhaust system and tyres across consecutive years. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,241 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the data shows long gaps without consistent maintenance. Between June 2023 at 35,542 miles and May 2025 at 47,241 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 12,000 miles, yet the periods of standing likely contributed to rubber-based components suffering from degradation despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should focus specifically on the exhaust system, as the tester flagged an exhaust leak joint and flexi-pipe in 2024 and a lambda reading failure in 2025. These faults indicate a compromised exhaust integrity that could affect fuel economy and emissions if not fully rectified. Furthermore, the 2025 failure highlighted that both front tyres were bald on the inner edges, which suggests an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension components that require physical inspection. The perishing cracking on the nearside rear tyre also confirms that the rubber is reaching the end of its life due to age rather than tread depth.
