2009 Fiat Grande Punto 1.4L Petrol · JT02 AJT

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, evidenced by its most recent MOT pass in early March 2026 at 30,635 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent inspection indicates the beginning of wear-related issues in the braking system. While the car passed without major failures, the appearance of worn front brake discs suggests that components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,800 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 6,545 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of stationary storage. This low usage often preserves mechanical components like the engine and gearbox, but it increases risks associated with age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids. The lack of recorded defects between 2022 and 2024 suggests the vehicle remained in a sound state during that period of minimal operation. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the March 2026 advisory regarding worn discs will likely require replacement to ensure optimal stopping performance. The 2025 advisory for an offside front inner tyre worn on the edge suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre wear. Given the low mileage and high age, a thorough in-person inspection for structural corrosion on the chassis and brake lines is essential, as stationary vehicles often suffer from surface rust that worsens over time if not regularly driven.
