Our Verdict

This 2015 Fiat Panda presents a generall

When viewing the vehicle, pay close attention to the suspension and steering components. The 2022 MOT history noted wear on the front suspension arm bushes and rear shock absorber bushes, as well as corrosion on the rear coil springs. Ensure these items were addressed satisfactorily, as suspension components are a common failure point for this model.

Additionally, check the service history for evidence of regular maintenance beyond the MOT requirements. While the MOT confirms the car met safety standards at the time of testing, it does not confirm the health of the engine or the longevity of wear-and-tear items like the clutch, which is a common consideration for small petrol engines used in urban environments.

The 1.2-litre petrol engine is known for being economical, making this an affordable car to run. You should expect reasonable fuel consumption, though this will vary based on your driving style and the proportion of city versus motorway driving.

Insurance and road tax for this 1.2L model typically fall into lower brackets, keeping annual overheads manageable. Aside from fuel and tax, budget for routine servicing and the potential for replacing suspension components as the car ages, which are common maintenance items for the Panda platform.

Prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, specifically the front wishbone bushes and rear coil springs, as these were highlighted in the 2022 MOT history. Listen for any knocking or rattling sounds during a test drive, which could indicate that these components are again nearing the end of their service life.

Check the tyre condition across all four wheels. While the 2023 MOT only flagged the front tyres for inner edge wear, it is worth verifying that the alignment has been corrected to prevent uneven wear in the future. Finally, check all exterior lighting, as headlamp issues are a frequent MOT failure reason for the Fiat Panda model range.

This black 2015 Fiat Panda has covered 49,302 miles since its registration in September 2015. The recent MOT record shows two clear passes in 2024 and 2025, following a period of maintenance in 2022 and 2023. The vehicle's mileage is consistent with typical usage patterns for a car of this age.

The Fiat Panda generally aligns with industry standards for its class, though suspension components and lighting are frequent areas of concern during MOT testing.
