2009 Fiat Grande Punto 1.4L Petrol · SM09 HVC

The overall roadworthiness of the 2009 FIAT GRANDE PUNTO is currently in the grey zone, with a clear trend of worsening maintenance history. The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-04 at 76,185 miles was passed, but the subsequent two tests on 2025-01-29 and 2024-01-31 were both failures, indicating a lack of consistent upkeep. This pattern suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, and the vehicle has not been properly serviced since the 2024-01-31 test. The mileage profile reveals a significant disparity between the vehicle's age and its recorded statistics. With approximately 17 years on the clock, the car still holds around 4,481 miles per year, which is low for its age class. The gap between the 2026-02-04 test and the 2025-01-29 test is substantial, with the 2025-01-29 test failing at 70,728 miles, whereas the 2024-01-31 test passed at 64,067 miles. This rapid accumulation of miles since the 2024-01-31 test points to a lack of regular maintenance, with the vehicle likely experiencing accelerated wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts over the last two years. Given the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, corrosion, and structural integrity. The 2026-02-04 test was passed, but the subsequent two failures indicate that the brakes and suspension have not been maintained in the proper sequence. If the buyer proceeds without addressing these issues, the risk of sudden failure is high, as the vehicle may have been subjected to excessive stress from the lack of regular servicing.
