Our Verdict
This 2009 Fiat Panda presents a reasonab
When inspecting this Panda, focus on the areas that triggered previous MOT failures. Check the exhaust system thoroughly for signs of corrosion or patches, as a major leak was noted as recently as 2023. Additionally, verify that all exterior bulbs, including registration plate lamps, are functioning correctly, as this has been a recurring minor fault.
Given the mileage, ensure you check for any documentation of cambelt changes, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1.4-litre engine. Take the car for a test drive to listen for any unusual suspension noises, as suspension arm wear is a common failure point across the Panda model range.
The 1.4-litre petrol engine offers modest fuel economy suitable for urban environments, though it may be less efficient on motorways. As a 2009 model, check the V5C for the specific CO2 emissions to determine its annual Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) band.
Insurance for a Panda is generally affordable, falling into lower-to-mid insurance groups. Budget for regular maintenance, as older vehicles with this level of mileage will require more frequent attention to consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £1,100-£1,300.
Pay close attention to the windscreen washer system and headlamp alignment, as these have been cited in previous MOT failures. Ensure the washer jets are clear and the pump operates at sufficient pressure. Check the headlamp lenses for clouding, which can affect beam pattern and light output.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for rust, particularly around the exhaust mounts and sills. Given the model's history, perform a physical check of the suspension arms for play or perished rubber bushes. Ensure all tyres have adequate tread depth and even wear patterns, as this is a common failure reason for the model.
Registered in March 2009, this red 1.4-litre Fiat Panda has covered 102,397 miles. Its recent MOT history shows a mix of failures and passes, with the most recent test in January 2026 resulting in a clean pass. While the vehicle has successfully navigated its latest assessments, the history of exhaust and lighting issues should be considered in your valuation.
The Fiat Panda generally performs in line with industry averages, though the model is known for recurring issues with suspension arms, tyres, and lighting systems.
