Our Verdict
This 2013 Fiat Punto 1.2 petrol presents
The headline attraction here is the mileage — at under 44,000 miles for a 12-year-old car, this Punto has been used lightly compared with the model average. Five straight MOT passes with no failures is a positive sign, though passes alone do not confirm how the car has been maintained, so ask for any service invoices or stamps to build a fuller picture. The 1.2-litre petrol engine is a simple, widely understood unit, and parts for the Punto are cheap and plentiful.
Your negotiating leverage lies in the advisories. The September 2025 test noted corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames — not serious enough to fail, but sub-frame corrosion typically worsens, and corrosion is the single most common MOT failure reason across the 86,855 Puntos analysed. Use this to negotiate on price and, ideally, have the car inspected on a ramp before committing. Also check whether the perished front tyres flagged in 2022 and 2023 were replaced, and whether the track rod end dust cover noted in 2022 and 2024 has been attended to.
The 1.2-litre petrol Punto is one of the cheaper cars to run in its class. Fuel economy in real-world driving typically sits in the mid-40s mpg, and at this car's low annual mileage of around 3,650 miles, fuel bills will be modest. Insurance groups for the 1.2 Punto are low, making it a sensible choice for younger or cost-conscious drivers. Road tax for a 2013 1.2 petrol of this type is modest by modern standards — check the exact band via the DVLA using the registration.
Maintenance costs should be manageable: the engine is a simple non-turbo unit, and consumables such as brakes, tyres and exhaust components are inexpensive for this model. However, budget for the possibility of corrosion-related work in future years, as sub-frame corrosion has already been recorded. A realistic estimated annual running cost covering fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance is £700-£950, assuming continued low mileage.
Priority one is the underside. Both the front and rear sub-frames were recorded as corroded at the September 2025 MOT — 'not seriously weakened' at that point, but corrosion is progressive. Inspect the sub-frames, suspension mounting points and sills on a ramp, and probe any flaky or bubbling areas. Given that corrosion tops the model's MOT failure list, this is the single most important check on this car.
Second, verify the tyres: both front tyres were flagged as cracking or perishing in the 2022 and 2023 tests, which is consistent with a low-use car where tyres age rather than wear out. Check the date codes and sidewall condition on all four corners. Third, the offside track rod end dust cover was noted in both 2022 and 2024 — a small item, but a split gaiter left unattended leads to premature joint wear, so check for play in the steering and listen for knocks on a test drive.
Finally, the 2021 test noted front brake pads wearing thin and a minor rear exhaust leak. Confirm the pads were replaced and check the exhaust for blowing or corrosion, particularly at the rear silencer — exhaust issues are another common failure point for this model.
OU63LBX is a white 2013 Fiat Punto with a 1,242cc petrol engine, first registered in September 2013. It has recorded 43,874 miles over 12 years — roughly 3,650 miles per year, comfortably below the model average of 5,281 miles annually. The MOT record shows five consecutive passes between 2021 and 2025, with no failures on file. However, the record is not advisory-free: recurring notes cover tyre perishing, track rod end dust covers, brake pad wear, a minor exhaust leak, and most recently corrosion on both sub-frames. Overall this is a low-mileage example with a consistent test record, but the corrosion advisories deserve careful attention given that corrosion is the leading MOT failure reason for this model.
Across 86,855 Fiat Puntos analysed, the average MOT pass rate is 73.0%, with corrosion, headlamp and exhaust issues the most common failure reasons. This example's five straight passes put it ahead of the model average on test outcomes, though its corrosion advisories mirror the model's most typical weakness.
