2020 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · NK20 KCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 53,701 miles, this followed a significant failure in December 2025. The transition from a clean record at 40,611 miles to a list of multiple failures involving brakes, suspension, and tyres indicates that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between January 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered over 13,000 miles in twelve months, compared to the much lower 11,000 miles in the preceding year. This increased activity likely correlates with the appearance of wear on consumable components, such as the front brake pads and shock absorbers, noted in the late 2025 and early 2026 tests. A buyer must inspect the front braking system thoroughly, as both discs and pads have been flagged as worn across the last two tests. The recurring oil leak from the oil filter noted in both December 2025 and January 2026 suggests a persistent seal issue or improper filter installation that remains unaddressed. Furthermore, the rear shock absorbers, which failed for negligible damping in late 2025, should be verified to ensure they were replaced and are functioning correctly. The consistent report of uneven tyre wear across multiple axles suggests a potential alignment issue that requires a professional check to prevent premature tyre replacement.
