2017 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · DF17 AEL

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 40,525 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a car that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,503 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, growing from 28,637 miles in October 2022 to 40,525 miles by October 2025. This linear progression suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of standing, which reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber components. The absence of any advisories across five years of testing is uncommon and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. No issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion have been flagged by the testers. The record shows no evidence of structural rust or exhaust emissions failures, which are common pain points for vehicles of this age. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that the MOT may not flag as critical until they reach a limit. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the age of the battery, as low-mileage cars often require replacements based on time rather than wear. Verify the fluid levels and look for any signs of oil leaks that may have developed since the last test nine months ago.
