2016 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · LP16 AXJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical concerns. The most recent test on August 9 2025 at 52,662 miles identified a coolant leak and sidewall damage to the nearside front tyre. While the car passed following these repairs, the appearance of a fluid leak suggests the beginning of cooling system degradation that was not present during the clean test in January 2025. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,266 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between November 2023 at 24,422 miles and August 2025 at 52,662 miles, where the car covered over 28,000 miles in under twenty months. This burst of activity after long periods of low mileage can sometimes lead to accelerated wear on rubber-based components such as seals and hoses which may dry out during periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the cooling system to ensure the leak identified in August 2025 was a simple hose replacement rather than a failing water pump or cylinder head issue. The nearside front tyre requires a close check for structural integrity to ensure the cut has not compromised the internal cords. Given the historically low annual mileage, the inspector should also check for brake surface corrosion on the discs and seized caliper pistons, as these are common issues for vehicles that sit for extended periods.
