2012 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · WR12 NDK

The 2012 Fiat Punto is presently roadworthy, as the September 2025 MOT at 84,154 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The consecutive passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 indicate a stable maintenance record, with no evidence of worsening or improving mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation shows a marked increase relative to the vehicle’s 14‑year age. Between the September 2023 test at 64,029 miles and the August 2024 test at 75,906 miles the car covered 11,877 miles in roughly eleven months, and then added a further 8,248 miles by the September 2025 test, translating to an annualised rate of about 8,500 miles — higher than the typical 6,000 miles per year for its age. A buyer should therefore focus on suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, which often show wear at this mileage, as well as brake discs, pads and calipers that may exhibit binding or uneven wear. Tyre tread depth, structural rust on the chassis and subframes, and exhaust condition also merit close inspection, given the vehicle’s age and high annual mileage. Although the MOT history lists no specific faults, the repeated testing and rapid mileage gain suggest that consumable items may have been replaced frequently, but underlying mechanical health remains untested; a thorough in‑person examination is essential to confirm the absence of hidden wear or corrosion.
