2009 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · CV59 WUA

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a tendency toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent recorded test in September 2022 at 65,417 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed that same inspection due to a worn offside front tyre and ineffective windscreen wipers. The history shows a recurring pattern of consumable items, particularly tyres and wiper blades, reaching the legal limit before being addressed. This suggests the previous owner tended to address faults only when they triggered an MOT failure. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,848 miles per year. A significant jump in mileage occurred between October 2020 at 53,894 miles and September 2021 at 63,306 miles, representing nearly 10,000 miles in a single year. Aside from this period, the vehicle has been driven sparingly. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with components that rely on regular use, such as seals or battery health, though the records do not explicitly flag any major mechanical failures. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and tyre wear patterns. The October 2018 test at 51,497 miles flagged serious concerns regarding a weakened front brake disc and thin brake pads. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the history of uneven tyre wear, specifically on the outer edges of various tyres between 2015 and 2022, suggests potential underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Physical inspection should focus on the condition of the front brake discs and pads to ensure the 2018 failure was properly rectified with quality parts. Given the recurring mentions of tyres wearing on the edges, checking the suspension bushes and steering components for excessive play is necessary. The overall mechanical history lacks evidence of major structural or engine-related failures, but the pattern of neglecting minor consumables indicates that a thorough check of all rubber components and fluid levels is required.
