2014 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · ND64 KTX

The 2014 Fiat Panda has a recent MOT result from 2025-11-26, recorded at 106,885 miles, which shows it passed but noted two instances of corroded nearside rear brake pipes covered in grease or material. This mirrors earlier findings but does not indicate new or worsening critical issues. The vehicle’s age (12 years) and mileage (roughly 8,907 miles annually) align with typical usage for its age, suggesting no extreme under-use or heavy wear. A recurring pattern of corrosion on brake pipes, suspension components, and sub-frames appears in multiple MOTs, including 2024, 2023, and 2022. The 2024 MOT highlighted extensive corrosion on front sub-frames, suspension arms, and brake hoses, alongside coolant leaks and worn brake discs. While the 2025 MOT shows fewer issues, the persistence of brake pipe corrosion suggests ongoing exposure to moisture or inadequate maintenance. These findings point to a gradual, localized deterioration rather than a sudden decline. The trend in defects appears stable, with no evidence of accelerating wear or new safety-critical faults in the most recent MOT. However, repeated corrosion on brake systems and suspension components raises concerns about long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage is neither unusually high nor low for its age, so wear is likely consistent with typical usage rather than excessive stress.
