Our Verdict
A sensible choice for city driving, prov
When inspecting this specific Panda, your primary focus should be the tyres. The most recent MOT in May 2026 flagged three tyres for cracking or perishing; you should check if these have been replaced since the test or if they still show signs of age-related degradation. Even with good tread depth, older rubber can be unsafe.
Given the 875cc engine size, check for a consistent service history to ensure the small-capacity unit has been maintained. Ask the seller for evidence of recent maintenance, particularly regarding the windscreen wipers, which were a recorded failure in May 2024. Negotiate the price downwards if the tyres flagged in the May 2026 MOT have not yet been addressed.
The 875cc petrol engine is designed for economy, typically placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Fuel economy should be efficient for urban environments, though driving style will impact these figures.
Maintenance costs for the Panda are generally manageable, but you should account for the frequent tyre replacements suggested by the recent MOT advisories. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a small petrol hatchback.
Prioritise a close inspection of all four tyres. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of 'cracking or perishing' on the nearside and offside tyres across 2025 and 2026, indicating that rubber age is a specific concern for this vehicle.
Additionally, test the windscreen wiper mechanism. Although the 2024 failure for ineffective clearing was passed, ensuring the blades and motor function smoothly is a simple but necessary check. Finally, as suspension arms are a top failure reason for this model aggregate, check for any knocks or unusual noises when driving over bumps.
This blue 2016 Fiat Panda with the 875cc petrol engine has covered 32,368 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 4,686 miles per year. While the MOT history shows recent advisories regarding tyre condition, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record since 2023. The mileage profile suggests it has been used primarily for short, local journeys.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.9% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, suspension arms, and tyres.
