2004 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · EO04 EOH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 28,969 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days prior at 28,968 miles. This specific failure without recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,317 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered only 3,532 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, low-mileage older vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to lack of regular thermal cycling. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time rather than just mileage. Given the low usage, check the chassis for structural corrosion, cracking in suspension bushes, and perished tyre sidewalls which can dry out regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers or corroded brake discs, which frequently occur when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods. Ensure all fluids, particularly the brake fluid and coolant, have been replaced recently to counteract moisture ingress and chemical breakdown.
