2016 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · GF66 TYS

The maintenance trend for this 2016 Fiat Panda remains stable, culminating in a clean pass on 11 August 2025 at 56,034 miles with zero defects recorded. A duplicate fail entry appears on the same date and mileage with no defects recorded, likely indicating a retest or a data entry anomaly. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the history, indicating consistent upkeep rather than a pattern of neglect or escalating failures. The recorded mileage equates to roughly 5,600 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light use for a vehicle of this age. Between the January 2024 test at 45,421 miles and the August 2024 test at 46,136 miles, the Panda covered just 715 miles, pointing to prolonged stationary periods. The subsequent jump to 56,034 miles by August 2025 represents nearly 9,900 miles in a single year, suggesting a recent shift in ownership or usage patterns. Low annual mileage often masks wear from inactivity, meaning components may have aged rather than worn through regular use. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for the specific ailments caused by long-term standing. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and binding calipers, as infrequent use causes rust buildup that wears pads unevenly without removing the corrosion. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, a common issue when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Inspect the underside and sills for structural rust, as the lack of regular road spray clearance can accelerate corrosion on the Panda's underbody. Tyre sidewall cracking also warrants close scrutiny, as rubber degrades with age and low mileage rather than tread wear.
