2012 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · DA12 FJE

The Fiat Panda presents as roadworthy following the March 2026 test cycle, with a clean pass recorded at 137,902 miles on 31 March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, as the most recent pass shows no defects and no advisories. A failed test on the same date at identical mileage with no defects logged points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression stays close to typical use for a 2012 vehicle. The recorded distance rose from 120,883 miles at the November 2023 pass to 126,775 miles at the October 2024 failure, then 126,786 miles by the March 2025 pass, reaching 137,902 miles by March 2026. Annual accumulation averages near 9,850 miles, with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods visible in the data. The sparse record shows only passes and one defect-free failure, so no wear-driven patterns emerge from the documentation itself. The repeated clean results give the buyer little to chase on paper, yet a 14-year-old Panda at 137,902 miles warrants a physical check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition. The October 2024 failure with no defects recorded demands confirmation that the rejection cause was clerical and not a withdrawn test after a fault was found and cleared. Given the age and mileage, inspect underneath for corrosion to structural members and subframes, and verify exhaust emissions and tyre tread depth in person. The history implies previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect, but the sparse MOT data leaves in-person verification as the only route to confirm true mechanical condition.
