2012 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · NU62 AEJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT in October 2025 with 51,231 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a stable outlook following a period of reactive repairs. While the car has suffered from multiple failures related to consumables, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests that the current owner is addressing identified faults before they escalate into mechanical failures. At 51,231 miles, this 14-year-old Panda has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the recurring issues with age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear from distance. Between 2021 (36,063 miles) and 2024 (48,255 miles), the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles, yet it consistently faced failures for rubber and metal components, indicating the car likely sits for periods between use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and steering. The record notes a fracturedide rear coil spring in 2020 and offside front play in the steering rack inner joints in 2021. The consistent history of tyres cracking, perishing, and tearing across 2022, 2023, and 2024 indicates that the rubber components are failing due to age rather than tread depth. Verify that the current tyres are not showing signs of sidewall cracking or structural separation. The braking system also shows a history of thin linings and pitted discs, specifically noted in 2019, 2020, and 2021. While these have been rectified, the low mileage often leads to surface corrosion on brake discs when left without regular use. Given the previous mention of under trays obscuring components, an inspector should specifically check the structural integrity of the underbody to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing beneath the protective guards.
