Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of a practical cit
Focus your attention on the brakes and wheels. The 2025 MOT noted buckled wheels on both the nearside and offside front, and brake discs were flagged as worn or pitted in both 2024 and 2025. You should verify whether these components were replaced or if they remain in a degraded state.
Check the service history to confirm the low mileage is consistent and look for evidence of brake fluid changes, as the 2025 MOT specifically flagged the fluid as being close to the minimum mark. Use the current advisories regarding tyres and suspension as a point for price negotiation.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically resulting in low fuel consumption for city driving. It falls into a modest tax band and a low insurance group, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Typical maintenance costs are low for this model, although this specific vehicle is currently due for tyre replacements and potentially a new shock absorber. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are likely to be moderate.
Prioritise an inspection of the front tyres and the nearside rear shock absorber, as both were flagged as defects or advisories in the March 2026 MOT. Closely examine the front wheels for any remaining distortion or buckling and check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, reflecting the repeated advisories from 2024 and 2025.
Additionally, ensure the headlamp alignment is correct, as this was the primary reason for the MOT failure in 2025. Check the battery mounting to ensure it is now secure following the 2024 advisory.
This black 2016 Fiat Panda has covered 35,746 miles, which is below the model average. The MOT history shows a failure in 2025 due to headlamp aim and brake/wheel issues, with the most recent 2026 test highlighting worn front tyres and a leaking rear shock absorber.
With a 76.9% average MOT pass rate, the Panda is moderately reliable, though aggregate data shows headlamps and suspension arms are common failure points.
