2005 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · WN05 AAV

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a failure in its most recent inspection. The MOT test on 19 May 2025 at exactly 130,093 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects recorded in the data provided, suggesting a significant mechanical or emissions-related issue that prevented a pass. While the previous tests in 2022 and 2023 showed clean passes, the recent shift into failure indicates that the vehicle is no longer meeting minimum legal roadworthiness standards without immediate intervention. The mileage profile is consistent with a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,195 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 118,412 miles and the May 2025 test at 130,093 miles, the car covered 11,681 miles, representing a steady and predictable usage pattern. This low annual mileage often mitigates heavy wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of low use can also lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, given the age of this Fiat Panda. Particular attention should be paid to corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and subframe, which are common failure points for this model. The failure in May 2024 at 125,535 miles followed by an immediate pass suggests a specific issue was rectified, but the recurring nature of failures warrants caution. Check for binding brake calipers, worn bushes, and perished suspension bushes to ensure that the recent 2025 failure does not mask a deeper structural decay or a persistent exhaust emissions fault.
