2012 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · AF61 KEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing. The most recent test conducted on 29 October 2025 at 39,650 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical condition has remained consistent over the last several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,832 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 27,386 miles and October 2024 at 35,843 miles, the car covered only 8,457 miles. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent operation can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components. The failure in October 2023 at 30,682 miles was rectified immediately, as the vehicle passed that same day. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than high mileage. Low-mileage vehicles often experience seized brake caliper pistons or perished suspension bushes, which dry out during long periods of inactivity. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion around the sills and rear wheel arches, as older Fiat models are prone to rust regardless of the distance driven. Verify the condition of the tyres for sidew cracking, as the rubber loses elasticity even if the tread depth remains significant.
