2010 FIAT PANDA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent test on 21 July 2026 at 75,033 miles, which passed with no defects. This follows a successful retest on 02 July 2025 after an initial failure regarding a nearside rear position lamp and a worn nearside front suspension arm bush. The maintenance trend shows a recent period of resolution after several years of recurring suspension and corrosion issues. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,690 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan. The record shows consistent, incremental increases in mileage, such as the 4,109 miles recorded between the July 2025 and July 2026 tests. This low-use pattern suggests the vehicle has likely spent significant time stationary, which often correlates with the age-related degradation seen in the rubber components and corrosion noted in the history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and chassis components due to a clear history of wear. The tester flagged multiple instances of corroded coil springs between 2023 and 2024, alongside a corroded exhaust rear box in 2023. While these appear to have been addressed or managed, the recurring nature of suspension arm ball joint play and bush wear suggests that rubber components may continue to perish due to age rather than mileage. The 2018 failure highlighted binding rear brakes and perishing tyres, indicating that while the vehicle is driven infrequently, basic consumable maintenance has occasionally lapsed. Although the 2026 test was clean, a thorough check of the shock absorbers and all suspension bushes is advised to ensure the previous issues with fluid leaks and excessive wear have been fully rectified and are not currently progressing.
