2010 Fiat Punto 1.4L Petrol · WV10 VBP

The 2010 FIAT PUNTO has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-05-05 at 71,826 miles. However, the maintenance trend is concerning, with recurring nearside rear tyre wear and binding rear brakes evident in the 2025 and 2024 test results. The recent test also highlighted worn nearside front tyre tread, indicating basic upkeep was skipped by the previous owner. The PUNTO's roadworthiness status is currently satisfactory, but this trend suggests that the vehicle's maintenance history is worsening. The vehicle's mileage pattern is low for its age, with approximately 4,489 miles per year. This could indicate lighter use or long periods of standing, but it also means that consumables, suspension, and drivetrain components may have accumulated more wear than usual. Notable gaps in the mileage pattern are sparse, but it is worth noting that there is a 6-year gap between the 2018 and 2024 tests, with no recorded mileage during this period. The rapid mileage accumulation between 2015 and 2020 is also worth mentioning, with the vehicle's mileage increasing by over 23,000 miles in just 5 years. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brake components in person, paying particular attention to the nearside rear brake hose, which showed slight corrosion to the ferrules in 2017. The PUNTO also failed its 2016 test due to excessively deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers, indicating potential structural integrity issues. Furthermore, the vehicle's tyres have been consistently worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that the previous owner may have neglected basic tyre maintenance. A thorough inspection of the vehicle's suspension, brakes, and structural components is essential to determine the extent of these issues and ensure the vehicle's roadworthiness.
