2007 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · FH57 CCY

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status due to a recurring cycle of MOT failures. While the car passed its test in October 2024 at 85,518 miles, it failed the most recent inspection in October 2025 at 96,164 miles. This pattern of failing immediately before or during the annual testing period suggests either intermittent mechanical issues or a failure to rectify specific defects between test intervals, indicating an unstable maintenance trend. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,061 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 12,367 miles, followed by a similar distance of 10,646 miles in the following year. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, the age of the vehicle often leads to degradation of rubber-based components such as bushes, hoses, and seals, as well as fluid oxidation, which are not necessarily mitigated by low time on the road. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody to identify structural rust, which is common in Fiat models of this era. Because the provided history does not list specific defects for the failures, it is critical to verify the state of the braking system, suspension geometry, and lighting in person. way attention should be paid to the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the exhaust system, as low-mileage may have resulted in surface corrosion or flat spotting rather than mechanical wear.
