2013 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · SF63 MHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 30 April 2025 at 72,511 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes suggests a reactive maintenance approach. In both the 2024 and 2025 tests, the car failed the initial presentation but passed shortly thereafter, indicating that minor defects are identified and rectified just prior to the retest rather than being managed through a proactive preventative service schedule. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 72,511 miles represents a low-average usage of approximately 5,578 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,808 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This low mileage typically limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but low mileage often masks the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid integrity caused by stationary periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the areas that caused the recent MOT failures, as the records do not specify the exact nature of the defects. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, close attention is required for perished suspension bushes, degraded coil springs, and brake corrosion which occurs over time regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and inspect the calipers for seizing, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface rust in the braking system if not used regularly.
