2009 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · FP09 DGO

The 2009 Fiat Panda presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2023 at 116,432 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Two failed tests in 2021 and 2023 were logged with zero defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than underlying vehicle condition problems. Recorded mileage sits at 116,432 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 6,849 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a small city car. The odometer moved from 102,528 on 28 July 2021 to 102,696 by 3 August 2021, then climbed to 109,831 by 10 June 2022 and 116,432 by 12 June 2023. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps; annual distances stayed near 7,000 miles throughout. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, particularly chassis legs and sills, since the MOT record carries no advisories that would confirm rust prevention was maintained. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the clean test outcomes, as the DVSA data offers no insight into wear beneath pass thresholds. The repeated zero-defect failures on 28 July 2021 and 9 June 2023 suggest the vehicle was presented without a valid prior certificate or correct documentation rather than suffering neglect. Previous keepers appear to have kept basic consumable wear under control, though the absence of any advisory history leaves genuine mechanical condition unverified by the official record.
