Our Verdict
This 2010 Fiat Panda requires careful inspection due to recurring suspension, steering, and brake issues, but the recent MOT pass suggests potential for a reliable purchase if defects are fully addressed.
Prioritise a full inspection of the steering rack, suspension arms, and brake systems. Check for evidence of repairs to the play in the steering rack inner joint (noted in 2024 MOTs) and the nearside front suspension arm ball joint failure. Verify service history for brake component replacements, as rear brake discs and pads showed wear in 2024. Negotiate a discount for potential repair costs, and consider a pre-purchase mechanical survey. Be wary of the vehicle's history of multiple MOT failures within 12 months.
The 1.368cc petrol engine likely offers decent fuel economy (around 35-40 mpg) for urban and motorway driving. As a 2010 model, it falls into a higher Vehicle Excise Duty band (£145 per year for 2026/27). Insurance group is unspecified, but smaller engines typically fall into lower groups. Maintenance costs may be elevated due to the suspension and brake issues, with potential expenses for steering rack repairs ( £300-£500) and brake component replacements. Estimated annual running costs: £1,000-£1,200.
Focus on the steering rack inner joints and suspension arm ball joints, which have failed multiple times. Check for play in the track rod ends and inspect brake discs/pads for uneven wear. Examine tyres for uneven tread wear, as front tyres were near legal limits in 2024. Look for signs of repeated repairs to the front flex pipe and headlamp alignment issues. Test the vehicle's handling for stability, as suspension and steering defects could affect safety.
The 2010 Fiat Panda has a mixed MOT history with multiple suspension and steering failures between 2024-2025, though the latest test in December 2025 showed no defects. At 108,245 miles, the mileage is below average for a 16-year-old vehicle, but the lack of aggregate reliability data for the Panda model means buyers must rely on this vehicle's specific history. The black 1.368cc petrol engine is common for this era, but the frequent steering and brake issues raise concerns.
No aggregate reliability data available for the Fiat Panda model, requiring buyers to rely on this vehicle's specific maintenance history.
