2015 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · WM65 ABK

The vehicle shows a fluctuating maintenance trend that has recently shifted toward minor wear-and-tear items, though it remains subject to recurring mechanical issues. The most recent MOT passed on 22 July 2026 at 74,974 miles, with the tester flagging worn front brake discs and perishing suspension arm bushes on both the nearside and offside front. While these are currently classified as non-excessive, they represent the beginning of a degradation cycle in the front-end components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 28,856 miles in October 2018 to the current 74,974 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing history, which suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for long periods. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the vehicle's structural integrity and fluid containment. The history shows a persistent issue with the engine sump, which was recorded as rusted through and leaking in July 2021 and remained noted as a porous oil leak in July 2025. The July 2025 test also identified corrosion on both rear coil springs and the exhaust backbox outer skin. These indicators of oxidation suggest the vehicle may be susceptible to corrosion, particularly in the underbody and exhaust system. Further inspection is required regarding the braking system and suspension. The tester noted fluctuating service brakes in July 2025 and worn front discs in July 2026. Given the previous failures involving track rod end dust covers and perishing suspension bushes, a thorough check of all rubber gaiters and mounting points is necessary. The recurring nature of tyre defects, specifically sidewall cracking and edge wear, also suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically operational, consumable maintenance has occasionally been reactive rather than proactive.
