2008 FIAT PANDA1.1L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 11 May 2026 at 101,686 miles showed a pass following a failure due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint. This follows a pattern of significant failures in May 2025 where the car failed multiple points including lighting, wipers, and critical suspension components. While the vehicle is passing tests, the recurring nature of mechanical failures suggests the owner only addresses faults once they fail an inspection. At 101,686 miles, this 18-year-old Panda reflects low mileage, averaging approximately 5,650 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage with roughly 10,000 miles driven between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 11,000 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and dry-related issues, which aligns with the recorded issues of worn shock absorber bushes and perished suspension ball joints. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underbody. The record flagged a worn offside front ball joint in 2026 and a worn nearside rear shock bush in 2025, indicating the suspension system is nearing the end of its service life. The repeated uneven tyre wear across multiple axles in 2024 and 2025 suggests persistent alignment issues or worn components that have not been properly corrected. Additionally, the front exhaust flexi leak noted in 2025 should be verified to ensure it was fully rectified to prevent further corrosion or future emission failures.
