2009 Fiat Grande Punto 1.4L Petrol · FH09 DFP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-30 at 137,349 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-27 at 137,328 miles failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential unresolved issues or procedural errors. Subsequent tests from 2025 and 2024 also passed with no defects, implying intermittent compliance rather than consistent reliability. The lack of specific fault details in failure records limits definitive conclusions about mechanical health, but the recent pass offers some reassurance. Mileage progression shows a steady annual accumulation of approximately 8,000 miles, aligning with the vehicle’s 17-year age. The 2025-01-29 test at 130,413 miles followed a 2025-01-15 failure at 129,980 miles, a 433-mile gap that may reflect minimal usage or data entry inconsistencies. The 2024-01-22 pass at 125,010 miles suggests a prior period of stable operation. Overall, the MOT history lacks significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes, though the absence of defect details in failure entries raises questions about the nature of unresolved issues. Buyers should prioritize a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, common wear points in this model. The lack of brake-related defects in MOT records is positive, but visual checks for corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers are advisable. Structural integrity should be verified, as rust or panel damage could affect long-term reliability. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a professional assessment of the exhaust system and engine mounts would also be prudent to identify hidden wear not flagged in MOT reports.
