2013 Fiat Panda 1.2L Diesel · WM13 GDU

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-20 recorded a single minor defect: "Nearside Front Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement." This is a wear-related issue, not a safety-critical failure, and the vehicle still passed. No other defects were noted in this test, and the previous four MOTs (from 2021 to 2024) showed no recorded issues. The history indicates a stable condition over the last five years, with no recurring or escalating problems. The vehicle’s mileage of 25,546 miles at 13 years old equates to roughly 1,965 miles per year, which is significantly lower than average. This could suggest light usage or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may affect components like the battery, brakes, and suspension. Low mileage does not inherently indicate poor condition, but it may mask wear in systems that require regular use to remain functional. The single defect in 2025 highlights a typical wear item for older vehicles, but there is no evidence of worsening trends. The absence of other issues in prior tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained. However, the low mileage means the buyer should verify that the car has not been stored for long periods, which could lead to hidden problems such as degraded fluids, seized joints, or corrosion. Key checks for a buyer: inspect the suspension bushing for further wear, test the battery’s health, and check brake components for stiffness or corrosion.
