2013 Fiat Panda 0.9L Petrol · DV13 LRY

The Fiat Panda's MOT history shows a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23rd May 2024 at 81,960 miles passed with no defects, following a similar outcome in the previous test on 22nd May 2023 at 78,741 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no recurring issues or worsening conditions. The absence of advisories or defects in all tests indicates the car has met roadworthiness standards consistently. The two failed tests on 17th May 2024 and 20th May 2023 at the same mileage suggest a possible administrative or testing discrepancy rather than a mechanical problem. This pattern of alternating passes and fails at the same mileage is unusual and warrants further investigation, possibly involving the DVSA or the garage. The mileage pattern is typical for a 13-year-old vehicle. The car has accumulated roughly 6,305 miles per year, which aligns with average usage. The intervals between tests are consistent, with the most recent test just 10 months after the previous one, indicating regular maintenance. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes that would suggest neglect or heavy use. The data is clean and sparse, with only five tests over three years, providing a limited but stable snapshot of the vehicle's condition. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the administrative discrepancy noted in the MOT history. Focus on the suspension, particularly the bushes and coil springs, as these components typically wear out over time. Check for any signs of excessive play or wear in the suspension components. Additionally, inspect the brakes for any signs of wear or binding, as the MOT history does not provide specific details on brake condition. The absence of advisories or defects in the MOT history does not guarantee the absence of issues, so a thorough inspection is essential. Finally, check for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially in the undercarriage and wheel arches, as these areas are prone to rust and can compromise the vehicle's integrity.
