2011 Fiat Punto: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 56% pass first time (all 2011 cars: 62%) Stands out: exhaust system 2.9×, coil springs 2.2×, engine oil leaks 2× 16,786 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 52% pass first time (all 2011 cars: 62%) Stands out: coil springs 2.2×, shock absorbers 2×, individual direction indicators 3× 529 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
