2009 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · DN09 KHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 May 2024 at 103,161 miles with no recorded defects. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor issue was rectified prior to the re-test. The lack of advisories in the latest two tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance levels during the last inspection cycles. At 17 years old with 103,161 miles, the Panda has averaged approximately 6,068 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light city use, which typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with a 1,860-mile gap between November 2021 and December 2022, followed by a 7,480-mile interval between late 2022 and May 2024. This regularity suggests a predictable maintenance schedule rather than long periods of stagnation that could lead to component degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and body, as vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage can mask aging rubber-based suspension bushes and engine mounts which perish due to age rather than distance. Check the braking system for signs of seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust if not driven frequently.
