2010 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · MJ60 AED

The Fiat Panda last secured a passing MOT on 28 June 2024 at 62,008 miles, yet that certificate expired on 27 June 2025 and no subsequent test appears in the DVSA data as of 21 July 2026, so current roadworthiness remains unconfirmed. The maintenance trend across the recorded history stays stable, with every test logging no defects or advisories. On 26 June 2024 the tester failed the car at 61,984 miles with no defects listed, then repeated a failure on 28 June 2024 at 62,008 miles under identical zero-defect conditions before the same-day pass, a pattern pointing to administrative correction rather than mechanical decline. Odometer readings show 40,418 miles on 13 December 2021, rising to 53,346 miles by 6 June 2023 and 61,984 miles on 26 June 2024. That equates to roughly 3,876 miles annually against a sixteen-year lifespan, marking distinctly low usage. The gap between the December 2021 and June 2023 tests spans eighteen months with modest accumulation, implying the car spent long periods stationary. Light mileage of this sort often masks deterioration in rubber components and promotes surface corrosion despite minimal mechanical wear. A buyer should physically inspect items the MOT record never flagged. Examine front suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing caused by infrequent movement. Assess brake discs for rust pitting and test calipers for binding after prolonged storage. Check the underbody and sills for structural corrosion, as the absence of advisories does not guarantee freedom from age-related decay. The previous keeper's clean test sheet suggests routine compliance but offers no evidence of proactive maintenance on consumables like tyres or wiper blades. The anomalous failed entries in late June 2024 deserve verification through the official DVSA portal before purchase. A passing document dated 28 June 2024 resolves the record on paper, yet the twin zero-defect failures hint at registration or paperwork anomalies now closed. Given the lapsed test status today, the vehicle requires a fresh MOT and a thorough workshop inspection to establish true condition.
