2019 Fiat Panda 0.9L Petrol · PK69 VFP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on February 10, 2026. However, the immediate maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical neglect and safety. The car failed just one day prior at 78,493 miles due to a critical prop shaft likely to become detached and both front tyres being below the legal tread limit. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the sudden appearance of a drivetrain failure suggests the owner only addresses essential repairs when forced by the tester. At 78,495 miles, the Panda has averaged approximately 11,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a seven-year-old car. The record shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 14,000 miles driven between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 14,000 miles in the nine months leading up to the 2026 test. This regular use confirms the vehicle is driven regularly, which places steady pressure on wear-and-tear components like the suspension and braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The May 2025 test flagged worn suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides, and the subsequent 2026 failure for inner-edge tyre wear suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn bushes that remain unresolved. The buyer should check for uneven tyre wear currently present and verify that the prop shaft repair was executed correctly. Given the history of reactive maintenance, a professional check of the condition of rubber bushings and drivetrain components is essential before purchase.
