2009 Fiat Grand Punto 1.2L Diesel · FN09 MSX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 21 March 2025 at 104,404 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to maintain a valid certificate. The clean records from March 2024 and early 2023 further suggest that the mechanical condition is currently maintained. At 17 years old, the Fiat Grand Punto has covered approximately 6,141 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent annual use, with 3,656 miles recorded between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 5,533 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seal degradation or brake component corrosion in older Fiacats. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the failures in 2023 and 2025, although the record does not specify the exact defect codes. Common failures on this model often involve consumable items like light bulbs, wiper blades, or exhaust emissions. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and rear wheel arches is essential to rule out hidden corrosion. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure the relatively low mileage has not masked age-related perished rubber components.
