2012 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · YL12 BNO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 at 75,453 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a duplicate entry for the same date shows a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error, though prior tests from 2024 to 2022 at progressively lower mileages (69,595 to 63,141) all passed without defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged across five consecutive tests. However, the lack of recent inspections beyond 2025-11-11 raises concerns about the vehicle’s current condition, as no data exists for the 10-month period leading into 2026. The car’s mileage of 75,453 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 5,390 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may indicate prolonged inactivity, increasing risks of fluid degradation, battery drain, and corrosion. The absence of rapid mileage spikes or gaps in the MOT history suggests consistent, light use, but the sparse data from 2022 to 2025 limits insight into long-term wear. Notably, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since November 2025, leaving its current roadworthiness unverified. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and suspension components, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluids. The absence of brake or suspension defects in prior tests does not preclude hidden issues, such as worn suspension bushes or corroded coil springs, which may not surface in standard MOT checks. Additionally, the failed 2025 test—despite no recorded defects—warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it reflects a genuine fault or a procedural error. A thorough pre-purchase inspection should include a brake system check, suspension assessment, and verification of fluid condition.
