2012 Abarth Punto 1.4L Petrol · WV12 ADO

The Abarth Punto shows a currently valid roadworthy status following the June 2023 test, with the most recent pass recorded on 29 June 2023 at 115,199 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, as each pass and the two fails carried no mechanical advisories. The vehicle cleared its final pre-sale examination six days after a failed attempt on 23 June 2023 at 115,144 miles, again with no defects logged. Recorded mileage sits at 115,199 against a 2012 build, equating to roughly 8,200 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the age. The supplied history opens on 1 June 2021 at 102,939 miles, leaving earlier years unaccounted for and limiting longitudinal analysis. Between the June 2021 failure and the June 2023 pass the odometer advanced 12,260 miles, a modest annual rate that suggests gentle recent running rather than high-stress commuting. The DVSA entries flag no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers or exhaust emissions issues across any test. Such a clean sheet with zero advisories implies either meticulous upkeep or, more likely, that the tester omitted granular wear notes on a low-defect car. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable items, as the absence of recorded faults does not certify component life. Previous owners repeated a pattern of presenting the car for test, failing with no defects, then passing days later on 1 June 2021 and 23 June 2023. This behaviour points to administrative or documentation slips rather than neglected mechanical care, yet it warrants verification of V5C and prior certificates. Given the Punto's age, examine wheel arches, subframe and brake lines for rust that MOT sheets may not detail.
