2008 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · FG58 ULK

The 2008 Fiat Panda presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 25 November 2025 at 93,270 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared every test from December 2022 through to the latest examination, showing no advisories or defects logged at any stage. A prior failure on 18 November 2025 at 93,249 miles is anomalous in that the DVSA entry records no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the pass one week later. Mileage sits at 93,270 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,182 miles per year and confirming light use for the age. The records show restrained annual accumulation: 74,485 miles in December 2022, 79,280 by November 2023, 84,620 in December 2024, and 93,249 by November 2025. That spread reflects steady low-level driving with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Low overall mileage of this order often masks deterioration from standing, particularly in rubber components and corrosion-prone structures, despite the clean test sheets. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity. The MOT history flags no recurring brake, exhaust, or structural defects, yet the absence of advisories across five years on a 2008 chassis warrants scrutiny of brake discs, binding calipers, and underbody rust that testers may not have captured. Verify the November 2025 failure cause in person, as the zero-defect record on a rejected test remains unexplained by the supplied data.
