2014 Fiat Panda 0.9L Petrol · LX64 PVW

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as unfavourable due to a recurring failure in the nearside headlamps. The most recent test on 2025-07-29 at 6,700 miles was passed, but a failure occurred on 2024-08-13 at 6,519 miles, causing the MOT to fail. This indicates a worsening trend in maintenance, where the vehicle has not been serviced since approximately 2022-08-09, a period of roughly 1.5 years. The test on 2023-08-01 at 6,259 miles was also passed, suggesting that while the vehicle may have been driven, the mechanical components have not been adequately inspected or maintained to prevent future failure. The mileage pattern reveals significant gaps in the history. The vehicle has only been tested on 2025-07-29, 2024-08-13, and 2023-08-01, resulting in a total mileage of 6,700 miles. This is relatively low for a 2014 FIAT PANDA, which typically requires around 1,200–1,500 miles per year for maintenance. The lack of records from 2020 and 2021 suggests that the owner may have driven the car for a significant portion of its life without performing regular checks, or the owner may have driven it less frequently than the average. The absence of a 2022-08-09 test on 5,869 miles indicates a gap of approximately 1.5 years where the vehicle was not tested or maintained, which is a critical gap in a vehicle with only 6,700 miles total. Consequently, the buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. The recurring failure of the nearside headlamps suggests that the front suspension and wheel bearings may be compromised or that the brake discs have become worn to the point of failure. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of the last test, a thorough inspection is required to rule out hidden structural issues, such as rust in the chassis, severe suspension bushings, or binding calipers. The lack of a 2022-08-09 test also raises a question about the vehicle's condition in the previous 1.5 years, as the owner may have driven it for a substantial period without any recorded maintenance, potentially exposing it to wear and tear from neglected use.
