2020 Fiat Panda City Cross Mhev 1.0L Petrol · KX20 KWD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 35,882 miles passed, the record introduced an advisory for front tyres worn close to the legal limit and unevenly worn edges. This indicates a failure to address basic consumable wear prior to the inspection, contrasting with the clean records seen in 2023 and early 2024. The mileage profile is consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 21,539 miles and January 2026 at 35,882 miles, the car covered over 14,000 miles in thirty months, representing a slight increase in usage compared to earlier years. However, the overall low mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, though it can lead to the degradation of rubber components over time, which may align with the suspension failure noted in early 2025. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension to ensure the repairs made following the January 2025 failure were comprehensive. The tester previously flagged excessively worn rear bushes on both front suspension arms at 32,017 miles, a common wear point that can compromise handling and cause rapid tyre degradation. The uneven wear pattern noted on the front tyres in the 2026 advisory warrants a professional wheel alignment check. If the geometry is out of specification, new tyres will suffer premature failure regardless of their quality.
