2003 FIAT PANDA1.2L PETROL

The most immediate concern with this vehicle is the complete lack of recent MOT history. The last test was recorded on 4 June 2013, meaning this car has been off the road or undocumented for nearly 13 years as of today. With no valid MOT certificate since 2013, you cannot legally drive it on the road, and its mechanical condition is currently unknown. The recorded mileage stands at 132,276 miles. While the calculated annual mileage is low at roughly 5,750 miles per year, the odometer has not moved since the 2013 test. This strongly suggests the vehicle has been in long-term static storage rather than in regular use. On a 23-year-old car, a long period of inactivity is often more damaging than moderate use, as fluids degrade, rubber seals perish, and metal components can corrode or seize. The historical MOT data shows a distinct shift in condition around 2012. The vehicle passed clean tests in 2010 and 2011 but failed in June 2012 due to several serious defects. The failure highlighted excessive play in the offside front upper anti-roll bar, rear tyres that were not fitted in accordance with sidewall instructions, and a braking system that only just met imbalance requirements.
