2018 Fiat Punto 1.2L Petrol · YM67 RYN

Rubber degradation across the tyre set is the primary mechanical concern, appearing in the latest pass on 2026-06-26 after several years of clean records. Aside from a 2021 failure for headlamp aim, the vehicle has a consistent history of passing its tests, though the most recent result indicates a decline in the condition of consumables. The recorded mileage of 17,211 miles over eight years represents a low annual average of approximately 2,151 miles. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has likely experienced long periods of inactivity or very limited deployment. Such a pattern often leads to the perishing of rubber seals and tyres through age rather than mileage-related wear. A physical inspection is required for all four tyres, specifically looking for the cracking and perishing noted on the offside front, offside rear, and nearside rear, as well as edge wear on the nearside front. The defective offside front wiper blade should also be replaced to ensure visibility. While the headlamp aim failure from 2021 was resolved, it is worth verifying that the beams are currently correctly aligned. On the test drive, feel for any stiffness in the steering or unusual noises from the suspension, as components on low-mileage vehicles can sometimes seize or degrade due to lack of regular movement.
