2008 Fiat Grand Punto 1.4L Petrol · WL08 FFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection without recorded defects. The latest MOT test conducted in September 2023 at 106,004 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a failure exactly one day prior at 105,961 miles. This pattern suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately to meet testing standards. The overall trend shows no evidence of escalating mechanical failure or structural degradation over the last three testing cycles. At eighteen years old, the recorded mileage of 106,004 miles represents an average of approximately 5,889 miles per year. This is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between September 2021 and October 2022, and another 4,700 miles followed by September 2023. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, it often accelerates age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid seals due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and arches, as these are prone to corrosion on older Fiat models regardless of mileage. Given the low annual usage, check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for dry cracking or perished rubber. The braking system should also be evaluated for seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust and sticking components when not driven used regularly.
