2007 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · WP07 THK

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status with a maintenance history that suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test in February 2022 at 102,711 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing failures related to emissions and a loose exhaust silencer. Given that four years have passed since this last recorded test, the vehicle is significantly overdue for a current MOT, and the trend shows a pattern where mechanical and structural issues are only rectified when they reach a point of failure. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,711 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,400 miles. However, there is a notable gap in data between the June 2019 test at 92,944 miles and the February 2021 test at 94,892 miles, during which the car covered barely 2,000 miles in twenty months. This pattern of intermittent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which correlates with the various mechanical failures noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as the underside of the vehicle was flagged for corrosion in early 2021. The suspension history is a point of concern, with previously fractured coil springs and leaking shock absorbers recorded in 2021, which should be checked for current signs of wear or failure. Furthermore, the oil leak noted in the 2022 test requires investigation to ensure it has not worsened into a significant drip, and the front brake discs, which were noted as pitted and scored in 2021, likely require replacement to ensure safe braking performance.
