2011 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · UBZ 688

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 31 October 2025 at 95,372 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory for light misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This indicates the beginning of component wear rather than an acute failure, suggesting the vehicle has been generally well-maintained despite its age. The recorded mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 77,466 miles and October 2025 at 95,372 miles, the car covered 17,906 miles, representing a steady and low-impact profile. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting the car is used regularly and has not suffered from long periods of neglect which often leads to seized brakes or perished seal-related leaks. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the oil leak noted during the 2023 test at 86,150 miles. While the tester noted it was not excessive at the time, oil leaks on these engines can originate from heading gaskets or seals that require monitoring for increasing severity. The misting rear shock absorber identified in 2025 should also be monitored to ensure it does not progress to a significant leak, which would affect handling and safety. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion remains essential, as the MOT record does not show any past structural failures or repairs. The clean records from 2022 and 2024 suggest the underlying suspension and braking components have been in good condition, but the buyer should still verify the state of rubber bushes and brake lines for cracking despite the relatively low mileage.
