2008 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · SM08 ABZ

The vehicle is currently not in a verifiable roadworthy state as the last recorded MOT test took place on 4 March 2022. This leaves a gap of over four years since the car was last certified for road use. While the maintenance trend appears stable based on the absence of recorded defects during the 2020 to 2022 period, the lack of recent data makes it impossible to confirm the current mechanical condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,806 miles per year. Between 17 February 2020 and 4 March 2022, the odometer rose from 104,172 to 122,509 miles. This indicates the car was in regular use during that window. However, the total absence of MOT entries between March 2022 and July 2026 suggests the vehicle has likely been stationary for several years. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection for deterioration caused by long-term standing. The primary concerns are seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. Because the car is an 18-year-old Fiat, structural corrosion on the sills and floor pan is a high risk that the clean 2022 record cannot guarantee against now. The engine and drivetrain should be checked for fluid leaks and perished rubber hoses that may have cracked during dormancy. The history shows no recurring mechanical failures or suspension issues, but the current lack of certification means a full mechanical audit is required before the car returns to the road.
