2007 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · WJ57 WOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in September 2025 at 100,254 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement after a significant failure in the previous year. While the September 2025 test identified defects regarding the rear door mechanism, headlamp alignment, and insufficient parking brake efficiency, these issues were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass. This indicates the owner is willing to address safety-critical failures to maintain legal compliance. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 100,254 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,277 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 4,891 miles covered between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. This low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mile counterparts, though the age of the vehicle increases the risk of perished rubber components, dried seals, and seized hardware due to long periods of light use. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the offside rear suspension mounting area. The September 2024 test flagged corrosion in this area which, while not deemed excessive at the time, is a known point of degradation for this chassis. The buyer should check for any bubbling paint or scaling around the sills to ensure the rust has not progressed into a structural failure. Additionally, the parking brake failure from 2025 should be verified via a road test to ensure the adjustment remains effective and is not suffering from binding calipers or worn cables.
