Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a cluster of
When inspecting this Panda, prioritize a thorough check of the suspension system. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with ball joints having 'slight play' and shock absorber bushes being 'excessively worn'. Ensure these have been replaced and not just noted as advisories.
Secondly, investigate the braking system. The 2024 MOT recorded a binding nearside rear service brake. You should verify if the brake calipers have been serviced or replaced to prevent further sticking. Additionally, check that all seat belts function correctly, as the 2023 failure noted non-functioning rear seat belts.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving, making it a typical choice for small city cars. However, maintenance costs may be higher in the short term due to the recent pattern of suspension and brake-related MOT failures.
Tax and insurance for a 2007 Panda are typically low, falling into lower insurance groups. You should budget for more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items such as wiper blades, bulbs, and suspension components, which have appeared frequently in the recent MOT records.
Specifically inspect the nearside lower suspension arm and the rear shock absorbers, as both have been flagged in recent MOT tests for play and worn bushes. The braking system also requires a close look; check for any signs of uneven wear or sticking, following the 'binding' brake advisory from October 2024.
Furthermore, check the condition of the registration plate and its illumination. The history shows repeated issues with a deteriorated rear plate and inoperative plate lamps. Finally, ensure the windscreen washer system is fully functional, as 'insufficient washer liquid' was a noted failure point in late 2024.
This 2007 red Fiat Panda has covered 110,112 miles since its first registration in December 2007. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple failures in 2023 and 2024, specifically concerning suspension, brakes, and seat belts. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, the recent advisory and failure trends suggest a period of increased maintenance requirements.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.8%, with common failures often relating to headlamps, suspension arms, and anti-roll bars.
