2013 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · WJ13 KXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 32,348 miles. The maintenance trend appears largely stable, despite a singular failure during that same test period. The tester initially flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres for exposed cords, a critical safety defect that was immediately rectified to achieve the pass. Prior to this incident, the vehicle maintained a clean record with no recorded defects or advisories over the previous three years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per annum. Between September 2022 at 25,436 miles and September 2025 at 32,348 miles, the car covered only 6,912 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for very short local trips or remained stationary for extended periods. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of rubber-based components and fluids degrading due to age rather than friction. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of components that suffer from time-related degradation despite mileage. The buyer must check for perished suspension bushes, cracked rubber hoses, and seized brake calipers which are common in cars that sit. Given the 2025 failure regarding exposed tyre cords, the age of the current tyres should be verified for sidewall cracking or flat-spot. Additionally, the chassis should be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and floor pans, as low-mileage vehicles often hide hidden rust that has not been cleared away by regular road use.
