2008 Fiat Grand Punto 1.2L Diesel · AV58 LSJ

The 2025-08-27 MOT at 67,023 miles passed without any defects, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy and showing a stable maintenance trend. No failures were recorded, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage has increased from 61,539 miles in August 2022 to 67,023 miles in August 2025, a rise of 5,484 miles over three years, averaging 1,828 miles per year, which is modest for an 18‑year‑old car and suggests limited use or extended periods of standing. The one‑day gap between the 2024-08-22 failure and the 2024-08-23 pass, with no defects recorded, implies the issue was minor and swiftly corrected. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and structural chassis for rust. These components commonly show signs of age even when MOT records list no defects. Pay particular attention to tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the integrity of the steering linkage, as low mileage does not guarantee absence of wear on consumables. Overall, the record points to a well‑maintained vehicle with no evident serious faults, but a thorough physical inspection remains essential.
