2009 Fiat Grand Punto 1.4L Petrol · WF59 VCV

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent test on 11 September 2024. This result is a positive indicator as it followed a failure recorded just one week prior on 4 September 2024, which suggests a minor defect was identified and rectified before the re-test. Since the 2023 pass, the record indicates that the vehicle has maintained its basic operational standards over the last two years. At a recorded 133,506 miles, this 17-year-old Fiat averages approximately 7,853 miles per year. This usage pattern aligns with typical low-to-medium mileage, suggesting the car has not been subjected to extreme high-mileage long-distance commuting. The intervals between tests in September 2022, 2023, and September 2024 show a consistent annual maintenance schedule rather than long periods of inactivity which often lead to rubber degradation or fluid issues. While the most recent record shows no active advisories, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. Grand Puntos of this age and mileage are prone to corrosion in the sills, rear wheel arches, and subframe areas. The buyer should also check for wear on the suspension bushes and leaks from shock absorbers, as these components often reach their fatigue limit despite a clean MOT history. The lack of specific recorded defects in the history makes a thorough check of the brake system and exhaust mounting necessary to ensure no hidden leaks or thinning metal are developing between test intervals.
