2006 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · SD06 OUX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test in August 2024 at 93,405 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a failure was recorded earlier in September 2023, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified issue promptly without allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2024, the car covered 30,467 miles, showing a consistent but infrequent usage pattern. This low-frequency operation often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples, though it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which dry out and crack over time rather than distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Fiat Pallas are prone to surface corrosion regardless of low mileage. Since the recent records show no specific advisories, the tester did not find immediate issues with brake calipers or suspension springs. However, the low annual mileage warrants checking for fluid leaks and perished seals, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from internal issues that a standard MOT test might not capture.
