2018 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · BU68 GJJ

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though recent MOT results indicate a shift from a clean history to emerging consumable wear. While the car passed its most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 21,577 miles, the tester flagged an advisory regarding a nearside rear tyre showing signs of cracking or uneven tread wear. This follows a period of clean results between 2021 and 2023, suggesting that while the vehicle was previously well-maintained, recent usage has begun to impact tyre integrity. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,697 miles per year. The data shows consistent, incremental growth, moving from 7,725 miles in 2021 to 21,577 miles in 2025. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short, infrequent trips rather than heavy motorway driving. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the lack of regular high-speed running can sometimes lead to secondary issues like tyre perishing or brake surface corrosion, which is reflected in the recent advisories. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The October 2024 test at 20,061 miles highlighted worn and pitted front brake discs alongside two front tyres reaching the legal limit. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent 2025 test, the recurring presence of tyre-related advisories suggests that the owner may be running consumables close to their expiration point. I recommend checking the remaining tread depth on all four tyres and inspecting the brake discs for significant pitting or uneven thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
