2010 Moto Morini Granpasso 1200 1.2L Petrol · HF10 BNJ

This Moto Morini GranPasso 1200 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT test on 19 September 2025 at 14,516 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the prior two tests on 1 October 2024 (14,486 miles) and 9 November 2021 (14,276 miles). The absence of advisories or failures across all three entries suggests that major mechanical components, including brakes, suspension, and structural integrity, have been maintained within acceptable tolerances. The vehicle’s compliance history is unblemished, indicating either meticulous upkeep by previous owners or, more likely, minimal usage that has spared it from excessive wear. That said, the lack of recorded mileage progression between 2021 and 2024—just 210 miles over three years —raises questions about whether the vehicle was stored for extended periods, potentially accelerating hidden corrosion or fluid degradation in less accessible systems. The mileage pattern is highly unusual for a 16-year-old vehicle, with an average of just 907 miles per year —far below the UK average for a car of this age. The near-stagnant odometer between tests (e.g., only 30 miles gained from 2024 to 2025 ) implies either very light use or prolonged storage. While low mileage typically benefits longevity, it also means components like the battery, seals, and rubber bushings may have degraded from disuse rather than wear. The sparse MOT history—only three tests in five years—further suggests the vehicle may have been exempt from testing due to age (pre-2018 models over 40 years old are exempt), though the 2025 test confirms it was still roadworthy under current regulations. Buyers should verify whether the vehicle has been regularly exercised, as neglected systems could fail without warning. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of fluid levels and condition —particularly the brake fluid, coolant, and engine oil—since stagnant vehicles are prone to contamination or seal leaks. The battery health should be checked, as prolonged inactivity can lead to sulfation or a weakened charge. While no MOT advisories were recorded, the suspension components (e.g., coil springs, bushings) and brake hardware (calipers, discs) warrant close examination, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from age-related fatigue. The exhaust system should also be inspected for surface rust, especially if the car has spent time in damp conditions. Finally, a test drive should confirm that steering responsiveness and brake performance remain sharp, as these are critical indicators of underlying issues that might not show up in a static MOT.
