2010 Fiat Grande Punto 1.4L Petrol · WP60 SGV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression toward structural degradation and component wear. The most recent test in May 2026 at 89,417 miles identified significant corrosion across the vehicle structure. While the structural integrity of the front and rear axles remains intact for now, the presence of rust on a sixteen-year-old vehicle indicates an advanced stage of age-related decay that will likely lead to future MOT failures if not monitored closely. At 89,417 miles, this Fiat Grande Punto has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,589 miles per year. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with intervals of roughly 2,800 to 3,300 miles between annual tests from 2022 to 2026. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy strain, yet the low mileage often correlates with the accelerated aging of rubber components and metalwork, which suffer from time-based oxidation and perish rather than purely mechanical wear and tear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with suspension arm bushes and Macpherson strut mounts. The tester flagged worn bushes in 2022, 2024, and 2025, indicating that the front end geometry is nearing the end of its service life. The minor exhaust leak noted in April 2025 also requires a check of the manifold and system integrity to prevent further degradation or potential performance loss. Given the structural corrosion reported in the 2026 test, a detailed underbody inspection of sills and floor mounting points is essential to ensure the rust is not progressing toward safety-critical areas.
