What Fiat Punto Evo failures look like
40,898 Fiat Punto Evo tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 31,364 tests (76.7%), with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 12,362 tests (30.2%) and with brakes on 8,778 tests (21.5%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
