2008 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · SL58 KXJ

The vehicle currently holds a 67,074-mile MOT record from 2026, indicating that the most recent test was passed on a 2026-02-03 date, placing the vehicle firmly within the current year's assessment window. The history shows a clear deterioration in roadworthiness, as the 2025-03-10 test was conducted only two weeks prior to the current date, resulting in a failed MOT. This failure, combined with the subsequent two failed tests in 2024, demonstrates that the vehicle is not maintained at a stable, improving standard; rather, the mechanical condition has worsened over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is a primary indicator of poor maintenance habits. The 3,726 miles per year figure suggests the vehicle has been driven for a long period, which typically accelerates wear on critical components such as suspension and drivetrain. The fact that the 2026-02-03 test was passed on a 67,074-mile record implies that the vehicle was driven very little in 2026, but the gap between the 2024 and 2025 checks is a significant red flag. This gap suggests that the owner may have been unable to perform routine inspections, leading to the accumulation of minor consumables and the onset of structural risks that are not visible on the MOT slip. Given the recurring faults and the history of failed tests, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for signs of corrosion, excessive wear on suspension bushes or coil springs, and binding calipers. The 2024-03-01 failure likely indicates that the brake discs have become worn down or that the suspension components are binding, which are serious structural risks that cannot be detected solely by a MOT. A thorough visual inspection is required to confirm whether the vehicle is in a safe condition for continued use or if it requires immediate remedial work.
