2010 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · AO10 OGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning downward trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed its most recent test in March 2025 at 61,567 miles, the failure just two days prior highlighted significant mechanical neglect. The transition from a clean record between 2022 and 2024 to a failure involving structural corrosion and brake wear suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase where age-related degradation is overtaking routine maintenance. At 61,567 miles, this 2010 Panda has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,850 miles per year. This usage pattern typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often correlates with issues caused by inactivity. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows only 1,638 miles driven, suggesting the car may sat for long periods, which can accelerate the spread of surface rust into structural weaknesses as seen in the 2025 failure. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the offside outer sill and the suspension mounting points. The March 2025 failure specifically flagged excessive corrosion that significantly reduced structural strength, which is a critical safety concern for a vehicle of this age. You should also verify the front brake discs, as the previous failure noted they were pitted and scored, indicating they may have been replaced or neglected since that test. Furthermore, ensure the central front windscreen damage has been rectified, as it remained a noted defect during the most recent pass.
