2017 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · GU67 EKP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in basic upkeep following years of clean records. While it passed the March 2026 test at 41,750 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding the front tyres. Both the offside and nearside front tyres showed signs of perishing and cracking alongside reaching the legal tread limit. This suggests that while the mechanical components are passing, essential consumable maintenance has been neglected. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Data shows a steady usage pattern between the 2022 test at 27,715 miles and the 2026 test at 41,750 miles, with annual intervals of roughly 3,000 to five miles. This low mileage generally mitigates wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, which explains the tyre sidewall cracking noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer should inspect the physical condition of all tyres immediately, as the recent failure indicates the front rubber is reaching its end despite the low mileage. The 2024 advisory regarding a damaged central rear seat belt also requires verification to ensure the retractor mechanism still functions correctly. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a thorough check for surface corrosion on the chassis and brake discs is wise, as cars that sit for long periods often suffer from rust and brake seizing that high-mileage vehicles avoid.
