AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The current roadworthiness status of this Fiat Grande Punto is excellent, with the vehicle achieving a clean pass on 27 February 2026 at 86,470 miles. The maintenance trend is highly stable, as the car has successfully cleared its last three annual inspections without a single recorded advisory or failure item. While the vehicle did record two failures in February 2024 and February 2025, these were rectified within days, suggesting that the owner addressed minor technical hitches promptly to ensure the vehicle remained compliant with road safety standards. The recorded mileage of 86,470 miles over a sixteen-year lifespan averages to approximately 5,400 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern indicates light usage, though it also raises the possibility of extended periods of inactivity. Such low-mileage profiles can sometimes mask issues related to lack of use, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals, rather than the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage examples. The consistency in the MOT testing dates confirms the vehicle has remained in regular service rather than being left to sit for multiple years at a time. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the braking system and suspension components, as these are the areas most susceptible to degradation on low-mileage cars. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently, and inspect the rubber suspension bushes and gaiters for signs of cracking or perishing due to age. Although the recent MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle means that structural integrity should be verified by checking the sills and wheel arches for any hidden corrosion that may not have been flagged during the test. A thorough test drive will confirm if the drivetrain remains smooth and free from the vibrations often associated with long-term storage.

Our Verdict

This Fiat Grande Punto is a surprisingly well-maintained example for its age, showing a very clean recent MOT record. It represents a solid, budget-friendly choice for a first-time driver or someone needing a reliable urban runabout.

When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the clutch feel and gear changes, as these are common wear items on the Grande Punto platform. Given the age, ensure that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule, as a failure here can be catastrophic for the 1.4-litre engine.

Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes. Fiat engines of this era thrive on clean oil, so a gap in the service book should be used as a point of negotiation. Inspect the interior for signs of dampness, particularly in the boot area, as seal degradation can occasionally lead to minor water ingress.

The 1.4-litre petrol engine is relatively economical for its age, making it manageable for daily commuting. Insurance groups for the Grande Punto are generally low, which keeps premiums competitive even for younger drivers.

Tax and maintenance are also budget-friendly, with parts widely available and inexpensive due to the model's popularity. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £900–£1,200, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.

While the recent MOT history is clean, always perform a visual check of the tyres and suspension components. Even if they passed the last test, the age of the vehicle means rubber bushings and mounts may be showing signs of perishing.

Test all electrical features, including the windows, air conditioning, and the 'City' steering mode, which is a signature feature of this model. Ensure the steering remains light and consistent in both standard and 'City' modes, as the electric power steering motor can occasionally become noisy or develop faults.

Registered in May 2010, this grey 1.4-litre Fiat Grande Punto has covered 86,470 miles, which is modest for a 16-year-old vehicle. The MOT history is particularly encouraging, showing three consecutive passes with no defects recorded since 2024. While it has seen a couple of administrative failures in the past, these were resolved immediately, suggesting the owner has been diligent with maintenance.

The Grande Punto is generally regarded as a simple, mechanical-focused car, though owners should remain vigilant regarding electronic sensors and suspension wear.
