2014 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · WP14 KFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of recurring mechanical wear and reactive repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 73,993 miles passed, the initial failure for incorrect headlamp aim and damaged rear brake cables indicates that faults were only addressed after failing an inspection. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple failures in 2025 suggests a shift toward minimum maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,166 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 59,833 miles and August 2025 at 73,993 miles, the car covered 14,160 miles over three years. This low annual usage suggests light use, which often explains the premature corrosion of rubber and metal components. However, the gaps between tests show that issues like corroding brake pipes and suspension springs are developing slowly over time rather than mileage-related fatigue. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody and braking system. The records from 2022 and 2023 consistently flagged corroding brake pipes and corroded rear suspension springs. Although these were noted as advisories or minor defects, their recurrence suggests the structural integrity of these components is degrading. The rear brake cables should also be checked for further fraying or seizing, following the 2025 failure. Additionally, the exhaust flexible section should be inspected for secure mounting, as it appeared as a recurring issue in multiple years without clear evidence of a replacement.
