2016 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · GL16 UFP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 15 December 2025 at 19,644 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues identified in the prior year were addressed. This progression from a flagged test to a clean pass suggests that the owner is responsive to necessary repairs rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,964 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered only 3,242 miles over two years. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, the drying out of seals, and corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front steering and suspension assembly. In the January 2025 test at 18,767 miles, the tester flagged offside front play in the steering rack inner joints and a damaged offside front tyre wall. Although these were cleared by the December 2025 test, the buyer should verify that the steering remains precise without knocks and that no new play has developed. Additionally, checking the tyres for sidewall cracking is vital, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer age-related rubber rot before the tread wears out.
