2017 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · EY67 EXA

The Fiat Panda in question has maintained a consistent MOT pass history across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 11 November 2025 at 9,146 miles. No defects or advisories were recorded during any of these tests, indicating a stable roadworthiness trend over the past four years. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, steering, and structural integrity has remained unremarkable, though the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which are not routinely tested beyond functional operation. The recorded mileage of 9,146 miles over nine years suggests unusually light usage, averaging just 1,016 miles annually. This pattern is evident in the incremental mileage jumps: from 4,759 miles in November 2021 to 6,694 miles in November 2022 (a 1,935-mile increase over 12 months), and then to 7,424 miles in November 2023 (a slower 730-mile rise). The final stretch from 8,069 miles in November 2024 to 9,146 miles in November 2025 shows another modest gain of 1,077 miles. Such low mileage may imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate deterioration in fluids, battery health, and rubber components like wiper blades and suspension seals. Conversely, it reduces wear on high-mileage components like brake discs or transmission internals. Given the lack of advisories or defects in the MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue even at low mileage. The brakes, while passing tests, warrant closer examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, as repeated low-speed use can exacerbate pad-to-disc contact issues. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and underbody seams, as standing water accelerates rust in these areas. Finally, the battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake fluid, and power steering) should be verified, as stagnation can lead to degradation in these systems. The vehicle’s overall maintenance history suggests no urgent red flags, but these areas demand thorough scrutiny.
