2010 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · CY59 LWC

The 2010 Fiat Panda presents a stable roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 1 June 2023, when it passed at 118,117 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is neither worsening nor improving in a mechanical sense, as the vehicle carries a clean advisory sheet across all passes. The history shows a recurring administrative pattern of same-day fail-and-pass cycles rather than progressive deterioration. Annual mileage sits at a typical 7,382 per year for a sixteen-year-old car. The records show 110,101 miles at the 15 June 2021 test, rising to 112,669 miles by 9 June 2022 and 118,117 miles by 1 June 2023. Accumulation is steady at roughly 6,000 miles annually with no sudden jumps or long dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse, listing only three passes and two fails across the visible period, and none of the entries cite wear items, corrosion, or emissions faults. The two failures on 31 May 2023 at 118,116 miles and 9 June 2022 at 112,669 miles recorded no defects, indicating administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. Previous owners kept the Panda to a clean MOT standard with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity concerns across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, suspension compliance, and brake caliper operation given the car's age and 118,117 miles. The absence of advisories does not exempt a sixteen-year-old vehicle from age-related degradation unseen in the test bay. Verify service history and check for standing-water damage given the low annual use.
