2013 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · WM62 CCN

This 2013 Fiat Punto shows a stable roadworthiness trend over its most recent MOT cycle, with a clean pass on the most recent test conducted just seven months ago on 4 November 2025. No defects were recorded during that inspection, nor in the preceding two tests in October 2024—despite a duplicate entry suggesting a failed test on the same date, which appears to be an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, suspension, and structural checks has remained consistent, though the absence of advisories or minor faults in the record means no prior warning signs were documented. The most recent test aligns with current DVSA standards, but the lack of advisories could also imply that minor wear—such as brake pad thickness or suspension bush deterioration—has not yet reached a reportable threshold. The recorded mileage of 71,388 miles, averaging around 5,500 miles per year, suggests the vehicle has seen relatively light use for its age. There are no obvious gaps in service intervals or sudden spikes in mileage between tests, though the record only spans five MOT cycles. The consistency in mileage accumulation implies the car has likely been stored or driven sparingly, which may have mitigated some wear on high-mileage components like drivetrain fluids or exhaust systems. However, the low mileage does not negate the need for thorough inspection of components that degrade over time regardless of usage, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and corrosion-prone areas. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common failure points on this model. The brakes—while not flagged in the record—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion on brake discs and backing plates. Structural integrity remains critical; the chassis rails, sills, and wheel arches should be examined for signs of rust penetration or frame distortion, particularly given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system, including the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, should also be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these are often overlooked but can lead to future emissions failures. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration.
