2014 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · NJ64 GYR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative mechanical care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 44,075 miles showed a pass despite a damaged offside brake cable. This defect was also noted during the November 2024 test at 42,373 miles. The persistence of this specific issue suggests that the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults when they are flagged by a tester during inspection. At 12 years old, the recorded 44,075 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on drivetrain and engine components, but it can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber-based parts. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the vehicle covered only 6,547 miles, yet the tester flagged three tyres worn to the legal limit or on edges. This suggests the car may sit for long periods, which can cause flat-spotting or uneven tyre wear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The record shows corroded front brake pipes in 2022 and recurring brake cable damage in 2024 and 2025, necessitating a check for seized calipers or perished rubber brake lines. Additionally, the 2021 advisory regarding a worn bush on the offside rear shock absorber requires a physical check for leaks or play in the suspension bushings. Given the low mileage, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of rubber components are more critical than engine-related wear.
