Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this vehicle, verify that the recent MOT failure regarding the registration plate and the offside rear position lamp has been rectified. Given the 2025 MOT advisories regarding suspension arm pins and bushes, ask the seller for evidence of any recent suspension work or replacements to ensure these issues were not just noted but addressed.
Negotiate on the basis of the recurring exhaust leak issues noted in both 2024 and 2025. You should also check the condition of all tyres, as the 2025 record specifically flagged a perishing rear tyre. A full service history check is essential to see if the suspension and exhaust maintenance has been kept up alongside the MOT requirements.
The 1.4L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically average for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for a Grande Punto can be kept low, but you should budget for periodic replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres, bulbs, and exhaust components, which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Specifically inspect the exhaust system for any signs of further leaks or corrosion, as this was a recurring failure/advisory in 2024 and 2025. Check the suspension components, particularly the front and rear arm bushes, to ensure the wear noted in the 2025 MOT has been professionally repaired.
Additionally, test the parking brake to ensure it meets efficiency requirements, following the failure recorded in August 2024. Finally, check the condition of the registration plates and all rear light clusters to ensure they are in good condition and fully functional, addressing the most recent failure from August 2026.
This 2009 black Fiat Grande Punto has covered 71,780 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,753 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of minor failures, including exhaust leaks and suspension bush wear. While it passed its most recent test in August 2026, the history suggests a need for regular maintenance oversight.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 71.9% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and exhausts.
