Fiat Punto: visibility MOT failures
Of the 477,125 Fiat Punto MOT tests in this dataset, 6.0% recorded at least one visibility failure. It shows up most on 2001 and 2002 cars.
Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair cost: £15–£150 (rough UK ballpark, not a quote).
