2009 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · HW59 JBV

The overall roadworthiness of this 2009 FIAT PANDA is currently in poor standing, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-16 at 79,388 miles, which was passed. However, this status is not stable; it is clearly deteriorating due to recurring mechanical failures that have been present since the 2024-04-26 test, where the tester flagged multiple critical issues including a corroded rear coil spring, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and a non-functioning front position lamp. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap in maintenance history. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 4,670 miles per year over its 17-year life, a rate that is unusually high for a car of this age, suggesting either heavy usage or long periods of inactivity. This rapid accumulation is not supported by the clean records of the 2026-04-16 and 2025-04-22 tests, which both passed without defects, indicating that the vehicle has not been maintained for a full decade. Given the recurring faults such as structural corrosion and electrical failures in the suspension and braking system, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of critical components like the rear coil springs and brake discs. While the lack of recent MOTs suggests a potential lack of basic upkeep, the specific evidence of corrosion and electrical malfunctions indicates that the vehicle is in a state of active risk, requiring immediate professional assessment before a purchase.
