2010 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · WL10 ACX

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently stable, with the most recent MOT test on 29 July 2025 at 90,416 miles passing without defects. However, the record shows two failed tests in 2024 and 2023, both at the same mileage as the subsequent pass, suggesting intermittent issues that were resolved without further defects. The pattern indicates no worsening trend, but the recurring failures warrant closer inspection to rule out underlying problems. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging just 5,651 miles per year. The most recent test at 90,416 miles shows a 4,859-mile gap since the previous test in August 2024, followed by a 5,504-mile gap since the July 2023 test. This suggests either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could have affected the condition of consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads. The low mileage also implies less wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components, but the recurring failures may indicate latent structural or mechanical issues that require attention. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for signs of excessive wear or binding, as the recurring failures could relate to worn suspension bushes or coil springs. The brakes should also be thoroughly checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the low mileage suggests the pads may not have worn out yet. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches, given the age and low mileage. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive wear, as the emissions test may have been affected by the previous failures.
