2009 Fiat Grand Punto 1.2L Diesel · AD06 MUG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-07 at 112,831 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the same date shows a prior failure with no defects listed, suggesting potential administrative inconsistencies or unrecorded issues. Subsequent tests from 2024-08-14 and 2023-08-14 also showed mixed outcomes without recorded faults, implying a lack of significant mechanical deterioration but raising questions about the reliability of the MOT history. The absence of structural or safety-critical defects in passing tests aligns with the vehicle’s typical mileage of ~6,637 miles annually, though the repeated fails without explanations warrant scrutiny. Mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 93,246 miles in 2023 rising to 112,831 by 2025, reflecting consistent use. The 8,538-mile jump between 2024 and 2025 tests suggests moderate annual usage, aligning with the vehicle’s age. No gaps or irregularities in mileage accumulation are evident, and the lack of recurring defects in passing tests implies routine maintenance. However, the absence of detailed fault reports in failing tests limits insight into potential underlying issues, such as minor electrical faults or emission-related problems, which may not trigger immediate failure but could indicate systemic wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as age-related degradation is common in 17-year-old vehicles. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the MOT history includes unrecorded issues. The exhaust system and body panels should also be scrutinized for rust, as the vehicle’s mileage and age increase vulnerability to corrosion. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the repeated unexplained fails suggest the need for a detailed mechanical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s integrity beyond the test results.
