2014 FIAT PANDA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the car passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 58,960 miles, it had failed just one day prior due to significant mechanical failures. The failure revealed a major exhaust leak and high emission readings, which were addressed to secure the pass. However, the presence of multiple suspension and tyre-related defects suggests that components are only being replaced once they reach the point of an MOT failure. The' profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between December 2023 (49,142 miles) and December 2024 (49,864 miles), where only 722 miles were recorded. This low-frequency use often correlates with the age-related degradation of rubber components, evidenced by the recurring reports of perishing and cracking tyre sidewalls in 2022, 2023, and 2024. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The records show persistent corrosion on both the nearside and offside front coil springs as of late 2025, which is a structural risk that should be monitored. Additionally, the history of damaged brake cables in 2022 and pitted front discs in 2024 indicates the braking system may be prone to seizing due to inactivity. The illuminated tyre pressure monitoring system light remains an unresolved issue that must be diagnosed to ensure it is not masking a slow leak or a sensor failure.
