2016 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · FG65 XJN

The Fiat Panda presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 16,450 miles. Zero defects were recorded, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without compromise. This unblemished record suggests a previous owner who addressed potential issues proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 1,645 miles annually. Between the December 2023 test at 10,475 miles and the April 2025 test at 11,239 miles, the car covered just 764 miles over a sixteen-month period. This gap suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or very short local trips. Such low usage can mask typical wear patterns, though it also reduces mechanical fatigue on drivetrain components. Despite the flawless MOT history, a buyer must inspect components that deteriorate through age and inactivity rather than mileage alone. Seized brake calipers and binding handbrake mechanisms often afflict vehicles left standing, so a physical check for uneven brake pad wear and disc corrosion remains essential. Suspension bushes and coil springs may have perished from a decade of weathering, even without the mechanical stress of high mileage. Examine the undercarriage and sills for structural rust, as low-mileage cars stored in damp conditions can suffer significant corrosion that an MOT tester might not have flagged if the rot was not yet severe enough to warrant an advisory.
