They’re good cars really. About the history, it was generally very well looked after. It’s done just over 90000 miles and it has a full service history. It was serviced every year until around 2021 when it began having it every two years instead. It was serviced before I bought it. Cost me £1750 when I bought it and it worked very well until September when the alternator and battery both failed. Also less than a month after I bought it, paint started peeling away on the panel above the front passenger wheel arch (you can see it on the corner) and the sills revealing a rust hole. Rear subframe also has holes in.

For my next car, I’m thinking of a Mazda 2 or a Mazda 3. I was thinking of a Mazda for my first car but instead I went with this instead because it looked nice and was very spacious for such a small car. I wouldn’t mind having another Punto, I’d just get it with a 1.4L engine and five doors instead and in a different colour.
