2009 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · SM09 HTZ

The most recent MOT test on 12 September 2021 at 49,725 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed and the maintenance trend indeterminate. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly on 14 September 2020 at 46,024 miles after an earlier same-day failure that also logged no defects. The absence of recorded advisories or faults across the 2018 to 2021 window suggests no worsening mechanical pattern, though the open failure means the Panda cannot be judged roadworthy from the record alone. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2009 vehicle. It rose from 40,642 miles at the 10 September 2018 test to 43,865 by 11 September 2019, then 46,024 on 14 September 2020, reaching 49,725 at the final 2021 test. That equates to roughly 2,900 miles per year, consistent with short local journeys or extended standing periods. A gap of nearly five years separates the last test from today's date of 9 July 2026, so the odometer reading is stale and offers no view of present condition. The repeated 2020 and 2021 failures with no defects entered point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than confirmed mechanical faults. Still, the buyer should physically verify suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and check structural integrity underneath given the car's age and low-use profile. A fresh MOT and inspection is essential before any purchase, as the open failure leaves the Panda legally unroadworthy on the record.
