2009 FIAT PANDA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 20 May 2026 at 40,225 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable but persistent issue with corrosion across the chassis and suspension components. While the car has passed its last four tests, the recurring nature of the advisories suggests a gradual deterioration of the underbody rather than a resolving problem. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 2,366 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the odometer moved only 2,971 miles. This low usage pattern often indicates a vehicle that has spent long periods stationary, which frequently correlates with the surface corrosion noted in the MOT records. A buyer must closely inspect the structural integrity of the underside. The rear axle beam has been flagged for corrosion in every test since May 2022. More recently, the focus of the rust has shifted to the front end, with the May 2025 test noting corrosion on both front suspension arms and the May 2026 test highlighting corrosion on both Macpherson struts. These recurring advisories indicate a pattern of environmental wear typical of older vehicles in the UK. You should verify if any preventative undersealing has been applied or if the corrosion is progressing toward a structural failure. The May 2022 advisory regarding a worn nearside rear tyre suggests that basic consumable maintenance may have been reactive rather than proactive.
