2010 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · WL10 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable and clean maintenance profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 March 2024 at 96,525 miles without a single recorded defect. This record indicates a high standard of upkeep over the last three years, as the car has cleared its annual inspections with no advisories or failures. The absence of recurring mechanical issues suggests the current owner has maintained the vehicle proactively rather than waiting for components to reach a point of failure. With a total of 96,525 miles accumulated over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,033 miles annually, which is consistent with light to moderate usage. The progression of mileage is steady, showing no signs of prolonged periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The 2022 test cycle is the only point of note, where a failure at 81,840 miles was immediately rectified and passed the following day, likely indicating a minor administrative error or a simple adjustment that was corrected on-site. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should shift toward age-related degradation that the test might not capture. You should prioritise checking the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and sills, which are common weak points for this model. Inspect the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components often deteriorate due to age rather than mileage. While the recent pass rate is encouraging, ensure the timing belt replacement interval has been respected, as this is a critical maintenance item that remains outside the scope of the MOT inspection.
