2009 Fiat Grande Punto 1.4L Petrol · GY59 VWC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The final MOT conducted on November 26, 2022 at 142,086 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all safety and emissions standards at that time. While the history shows failures in both 2021 and 2022, these were rectified immediately with subsequent passes, suggesting the owner addressed identified faults as they arose. Given that over three years have passed since the last recorded test, the vehicle is currently overdue for an MOT, which leaves its present mechanical condition unverified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for typical annual commuting tasks, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. Between October 2020 at 124,709 miles and October 2021 at 132,789 miles, the car covered 8,080 miles, which aligns perfectly with the historical average. The jump of 9,297 miles recorded between October 2021 and November 2022 indicates a slight increase in usage during that period but remains within normal limits. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to premature seal failure or fluid degradation. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on structural integrity and suspension components, as this era of Fiat is prone to corrosion. Since the MOT record does not list specific advisories, a thorough check of the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor pans is necessary to rule out hidden rust. Additionally, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for wear given the 142,000 miles. Considering the overdue status, a check for binding calipers or worn brake lines is also essential before any purchase.
