2008 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · WN58 WNW

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend in recent months. The most recent inspection conducted on October 2024 at 127,852 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum legal standards. This follows a period where minor issues were identified and successfully rectified, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in addressing necessary repairs to maintain a clean test record. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2023, the car covered 14,936 miles, which represents a significant spike in usage compared to the annual average. However, the usage moderated to 4,524 miles between November 2023 and October 2024. This suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing component seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that failed in 2022 and 2023, although the records provided do not list the specific mechanical reasons for those failures. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity is essential, particularly around the sills and wheel arches where corrosion is a common failure point for this model. The inspector should also look for worn suspension bushes and signs of binding calipers, as these components frequently require attention at this mileage bracket regardless of a clean MOT history.
