2008 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · WN08 UOR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent test conducted in February 2023 at 153,861 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met all essential safety standards at that time. This clean result follows a successful pass in February 2022, suggesting that the previous owner addressed the minor issues that led to a failure just one day prior during that year. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2023, the car covered 13,732 miles, which represents a steady rate of operation. The recorded failure on 11 February 2022 at 140,109 miles followed by a pass the following day after only 20 miles travel indicates a clerical or consumable-related failure that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical neglect. Given the vehicle's age and relatively high mileage, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on the underlying structural integrity and suspension components. While the MOT record does not show recurring advisories, the 18-year-old chassis is prone to corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and exhaust mounting points. Inspect the rubber bushings for perish and check the condition of the brake lines, as these are often the first points of failure on Punto models of this era regardless of a clean MOT history.
