Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- Electric Power Steering FailureSerious
A very common failure where the torque sensor or motor inside the column fails.
- Overheating and head gasket failureSerious
The 1.2 and 1.4 petrol engines are prone to overheating if the cooling system is neglected. Head gasket failure can follow, causing creamy residue under the oil cap, coolant loss and poor engine performance. Cars as young as three years old have been affected.
- Timing belt failureSerious
The Punto's timing belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles or 5 years. If it snaps or slips, the engine can suffer catastrophic internal damage. This is especially critical on the Interferenz engines where a belt failure means bent valves.
