Is it a 1997 car.

A number plate such as T157ABC is not a 57 plate, if you have a number plate that is a letter then 3 numbers it would imply and older car. If it is definitely two letters two numbers three letters such as AB57CDE then it cannot be a 1997 car as you cannot make a car look newer than it is.

Maybe it would be worth looking at the punto Wikipedia page or the punto forum pages here to work out exactly what car you have.

Look at the V5C and it will tell you the date of first registration which would confirm if it’s a 1997or a 2007

The mark 1 didn't come with a 1.3MJ engine, so I'm assuming this is a Grande (have moved accordingly, let me know if I'm wrong!)
