2014 Fiat Panda 1.2L Diesel · OY14 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT passed on 16 September 2025 at 75,047 miles without any recorded defects. This follows a clean pass in September 2024 at 69,569 miles, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the car is currently in a consistent state of repair. The trend shows a transition from a period of significant maintenance requirements in 2021 to a more disciplined upkeep pattern in recent years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 34,412 miles in March 2017 to the current 75,047 miles. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that might suggest heavy commercial use or odometer tampering. The progression from 49,133 miles in July 2020 to 56,001 miles in September 2021 shows a period of regular driving that aligns with the overall lifecycle of the vehicle. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and drivetrain components, as these have been recurring points of failure. The 2021 failure highlighted multiple issues, including worn suspension arm bushes, exposed tyre cords, and thin brake pads. While the 2023 test at 65,378 miles noted slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, the subsequent clean passes suggest this was likely rectified. It remains prudent to inspect the condition of all suspension bushes, ball joints, and the prop shaft bearing during a physical inspection to ensure no new play has developed. The brake system and tyres should also be checked thoroughly. Although the 2021 record flagged thin rear brake pads and worn tyres, the absence of advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests implies these consumables are currently within legal limits. Given the history of suspension and prop shaft bearing issues, a road test to check for vibrations or knocks from the underside would be a sensible precaution to confirm the structural and mechanical integrity of the chassis and drivetrain.
