2016 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · PL16 FYB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 31,438 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor, avoidable fault that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure, as no specific defects were logged on the failed entry itself. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,144 miles annually. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the car covered 2,110 miles, while the interval between 2023 and 2024 saw an increase of 2,106 miles. This low usage indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low-mileage over long periods can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the corrosion of brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended durations. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than distance. Check for signs of perish in the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which can crack over time regardless of low mileage. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning them. Given the clean MOT history, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a standard check of the underbody for surface corrosion remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed during periods of inactivity.
