2012 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · K2 PMH

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state according to the most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 32,639 miles, though the maintenance trend is worsening. This latest pass included advisories for worn and pitted front brake discs and thin brake pads, alongside a nail in the offside rear tyre. These issues follow a pattern of neglect regarding braking components and tyres that has persisted for several years. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 2,331 miles per year. A significant gap in the record exists between August 2020 and October 2024, during which the vehicle covered only 2,016 miles. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on metal parts, which is evident in the failure history. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system and suspension. The tester flagged pitted front brake discs in December 2016, October 2024, and again in October 2025, suggesting the owner has repeatedly deferred necessary replacements. The October 2024 failure at 28,256 miles was particularly severe, requiring the replacement of a fractured offside rear coil spring and a tyre with exposed ply. The record also shows a history of worn shock absorber bushes in August 2020 and corroded brake hose ferrules in October 2024. The recurring nature of the brake disc pitting and the previous suspension failures indicate a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. While the car has low mileage, the evidence of corrosion on brake lines and suspension components suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. Any prospective buyer should verify that the front brakes and rear suspension have been fully overhauled since the 2025 advisories.
