2019 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · DC19 EZU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 28,808 miles, confirming it remained roadworthy at the time of the assessment. The maintenance trend indicates a gradual emergence of minor mechanical advisories rather than a sudden decline in condition. The August 2025 tester flagged perishing on the nearside rear tyre, while the August 2024 record showed rear upper shock absorber bushes were slightly worn on both sides alongside the recurring tyre sidewall damage. This progression suggests the vehicle has been kept running but has not received proactive maintenance on suspension and tyre care. The recorded mileage accumulation is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered roughly 11,683 miles over three years, averaging around 3,900 miles per year. The interval between the August 2023 test and the August 2024 test saw a jump of 6,645 miles, while the period leading up to the August 2025 test saw no mileage increase, suggesting the car sat unused or was driven very lightly for an extended duration. This low usage pattern often means rubber components like suspension bushes and brake discs age faster than they would under high mileage, as heat and vibration degrade materials regardless of distance. A buyer should focus on the rear suspension bushes and the outer casing of the rear shock absorbers, given the worn bushes flagged in 2024. The pitted front inner brake disc noted in August 2024 at 21,354 miles warrants a physical check to ensure the surface is not compromised beyond the advisory threshold. The recurring tyre sidewall damage across both 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a potential storage issue or a wheel alignment fault that needs correction before the next purchase. The clean records from 2022 and 2023 confirm the chassis and bodywork were in good condition prior to the onset of these minor consumable faults.
