2007 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · CU07 KCX

The 2007 Fiat Panda passed its most recent MOT on 26 June 2024 at 162,132 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it currently roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend appears stable in the final outcome, though the path to that pass exposed poor test preparation by the vendor rather than any worsening mechanical fault. Mileage sat at 154,203 miles for the June 2023 tests and rose to 162,132 by June 2024, an annual gain of roughly 7,900 miles that is consistent with the vehicle's 19-year average of 8,533 miles per year. The DVSA record is sparse, showing only passes and fails with no advisories or listed defects across any entry, which limits insight into wear on consumables or structure. The June 2024 fail on 24 June at 162,119 miles and the earlier fail on 11 June at 161,982 miles, both with no defects recorded, indicate the car was presented for testing without a valid prior certificate or with administrative non-compliance rather than a flagged mechanical issue. Failing twice within thirteen days before a clean pass suggests the seller rushed the booking process rather than addressed outstanding work. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion, since the MOT history carries no advisories to confirm those items were examined closely. At 162,132 miles the drivetrain and exhaust emissions warrant a live road test to verify the Panda performs without binding brakes or structural fatigue not captured by the bare test outcomes.
