2008 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · SH08 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to its most recent successful test. The February 2024 inspection at 70,772 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed an inspection on February 10, 2024, at 70,704 miles, the lack of specific defect data for that failure makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause, though the subsequent pass suggests the issue was rectified immediately. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,932 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, gradual increase in mileage from 59,656 miles in January 2021 to 70,772 miles in February 2024. This pattern suggests the car has seen light, intermittent use rather than heavy high-speed motorway driving. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with seals drying out or battery degradation, but the MOT record itself shows no evidence of mechanical neglect. Because the MOT history is remarkably clean, there are no specific recurring faults in the suspension, braking system, or exhaust to flag. However, the low annual mileage means the vehicle has likely spent significant time stationary. A buyer should personally inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related corrosion on the underside and check that all rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, show no signs of cracking or perishing. Given the lack of recorded advisories for brake discs, calipers, or emissions, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained or simply driven lightly. A thorough inspection of the service history is recommended to confirm that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed regularly, as low-mileage cars often suffer from moisture buildup in the engine oil and brake fluid due to short trips.
