2014 Fiat Panda 0.9L Petrol · LS63 XLH

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-21 shows the 2014 Fiat Panda passed but with two tyres worn close to the legal limit (nearside front outer and offside front inner). This mirrors earlier findings from 2025 and 2024, where tyres were consistently near the limit or had cuts. The same suspension issue— offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn —was also flagged as a failure in the same MOT, indicating a recurring mechanical concern. The pattern of tyre wear and suspension component degradation has persisted across multiple MOTs. In 2024, worn tyres, suspension bush wear, and a minor oil leak were noted, while 2025 saw a failed MOT due to a cut tyre and continued tyre wear. The 2026 MOT confirms these issues remain unresolved, suggesting no significant improvement in addressing tyre maintenance or suspension health. The vehicle’s mileage of 54,355 miles over 12 years equates to ~4,530 miles per year , which is low for its age. This could imply light use or periods of inactivity , which might contribute to tyre wear from underuse or suspension components developing issues due to lack of regular movement. However, the low mileage does not inherently indicate better mechanical condition, as static storage can accelerate wear on rubber and rubber-like components. The trend shows no clear worsening of defects but highlights repeated failures in tyres and suspension .
