2017 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · K8 MUD

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 5 January 2026 at 34,148 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the clean results seen across the previous four years. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and lacks the recurring mechanical or structural issues that typically trigger MOT failures over time. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles annually. Between May 2022 and May 2023, the car covered only 718 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. However, a recent increase in usage occurred between December 2024 and January 2026, where the vehicle clocked nearly 3,000 miles in just thirteen months. While low overall mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or seized brake components if not driven regularly. Because the digital MOT record shows no historical faults, an in-person inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. The buyer should check for surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers, which often occurs when cars sit for extended periods. Additionally, the rubber bushes and suspension boots should be inspected for cracking, as materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. The lack of recorded advisories suggests the structural integrity remains sound, but a physical check for minor rust remains prudent.
