2004 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · AF04 CFP

The 2004 Fiat Panda presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 26 January 2026 at 68,791 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 30 January 2024 through to the latest examination showing clean results and no advisories raised. The vehicle cleared its most recent assessment without fault after a failed attempt on the same day at 68,789 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Recorded mileage sits at 68,791 against an estimated 22 years of service, equating to roughly 3,127 miles per year. The odometer advanced just 2,444 miles between the 30 January 2024 test at 64,013 miles and the 27 January 2025 examination at 66,347 miles, then a further 2,444 miles to the January 2026 pass. Such low annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods or light local use, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop despite minimal wear to drivetrain parts. The duplicate failed-then-passed entries on both 27 January 2025 and 26 January 2026 at near-identical mileages imply the vendor corrected a non-mechanical rejection or re-submitted the car the same day. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may show age-related degradation not captured by a pass with no defects. The twin failed tests with no recorded faults warrant confirmation that the V5C and DVSA records align and that no suppressed advisory history exists from prior operators.
