Enter the 17-character VIN of a Fiat Punto and the free decoder, which needs no registration, returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the Punto covers model years 1993 to 2018, in Hatchback and Convertible bodies, with power from 54 to 135 hp. It is spread over 12 versions, including the Fiat Punto I (176), the Fiat Punto II (188) in 3dr and 5dr form, the Fiat Grande Punto (199) and the Fiat Punto Evo (199).
A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot speak to any of them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. When you are looking at a car, compare the VIN on the plate with the one in the registration papers, and check that the decoded model year and body style match the car in front of you.

All 17 characters must match exactly, and none of them should be I, O or Q. The tenth character gives the model year, which should agree with the year in the papers. A power figure outside our range of 54 to 135 hp for the Punto deserves a second look.
