2015 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · VN65 RBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on October 20, 2025, 51,794 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address front braking components proactively. While the car passed its most recent test, the front inner brake discs have appeared as advisories or failures in every annual test since 2022. This indicates a pattern where the owner only replaces components when they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage recorded between October 2024 at 29,966 miles and October 2025 at 51,794 miles, where the car covered over 21,000 miles in a single year. This rapid burst of activity explains the accelerated wear on the front brake discs and the transition from age-related tyre cracking noted in 2023 to more immediate mechanical failures. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front brake assembly and calipers, as the recurring pitting and scoring on the discs may indicate seized caliper pistons or poor seal integrity. The low annual mileage often leads to rubber-based components degrading from inactivity, so check the tyre sidewalls for cracking and the suspension bushes for perish. Given the 2025 failure regarding a damaged windscreen, verify the glass is free of further chips or cracks that could compromise structural integrity or the driver's view.
