The FIAT GRANDE PUNTO (2006-10) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.6 MULTIJET DPF 120 SPORTING 6SPD is a sporty, three-door small hatchback, sitting among practical superminis rather than larger family cars. It brings Italian styling and a punchier diesel engine to a class also served by the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Renault Clio, making it an appealing alternative to more familiar choices. In mycarcheck.com data, 76 look-ups covered 39 different VINs, offering a useful snapshot rather than a full-market picture. The average private-sale valuation was £1,200, with recorded mileage averaging 111,000 and annual use around 5,000 miles. Cars had about four previous keepers on average, so checking each car’s history and condition is especially worthwhile. Its six-speed gearbox and 120bhp diesel suit commuting and longer journeys, while the three-door layout best fits couples, not families needing easy rear access. This Grande Punto Sporting offers character and value, but inspect carefully before buying.
