2009 Fiat Grande Punto 1.4L Petrol · DV59 VAM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 14 October 2025 at 12,483 miles recorded no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of previous annual inspections. This suggests the vehicle has remained in a consistent state of repair without significant mechanical failures or structural degradation during the observed period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 734 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the car covered only 583 miles, moving from 11,900 to 12,483 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between journeys often lead to specific types of age-related deterioration. The data shows the vehicle is likely stationary for long periods between short trips. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that degrade through time rather than distance. Check for cracking in rubber elements such as suspension bushes, split boot hoses, and seals, as these often perish when a car sits idle. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting from inactivity, which can cause binding calipers. Additionally, verify the tyre age and flat spots or sidew cracking, as low tread depth often masks the structural failure of the rubber compound.
