2009 Fiat Grande Punto 1.4L Petrol · AV59 XLD

The Fiat Grande Punto presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 91,408 miles, where the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The repeated fail-and-pass entries on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 show administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical defects, as both failures list no defects recorded. The recorded mileage of 91,408 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 5,377 miles per year across the car's seventeen years, which is low for a 2009 supermini. The odometer moved from 78,042 miles at the October 2023 test to 84,397 by September 2024, then to 91,408 by August 2025, giving a steady annual accumulation of around 6,300 to 7,000 miles with no abrupt jumps. Such light use over a long period often means the car stood idle for stretches, a pattern that can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The clean MOT record gives no cause to suspect worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or failing brake discs, yet a buyer should still verify structural integrity in person. Low-mileage Fiats of this era are prone to subframe corrosion and degraded exhaust mountings even when test records stay clear. Inspect the underside for rust, check coil springs for fracture, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age rather than wear. Given the sparse but clean history, the previous owner appears to have kept the car lightly used and presented it for timely testing. The absence of advisories across three years suggests basic upkeep was adequate, though the same-day fail-pass pairs hint at minor paperwork or lighting checks rather than deep mechanical scrutiny. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible given the vehicle's age.
