2010 Fiat Panda 1.1L Petrol · WR10 FUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards reactive exhaust-related repairs. The most recent test in March 2026 at 74,353 miles resulted in a pass despite an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp and a deteriorated rear silencer. This follows a recurring exhaust issue noted in the 2025 test at 69,920 miles, indicating the exhaust system is reaching the end of its life and requires attention. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 74,353 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,647 miles per year. This low usage pattern often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain but increases risks of rubber-based components degrading. The March 2023 test at 61,710 miles flagged perishing and cracking on both front tyres, which is a classic symptom of a vehicle that sits for long periods or undergoes low mileage, causing the rubber to dry out before the tread wears. A buyer should inspect the suspension geometry closely, specifically relating to the 2023 failure regarding an excessively worn bush on the offside rear upper shock absorber. While this was rectified for the pass, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized bolts and perished bushings. The deteriorated silencer also represents a priority for immediate replacement, as it has been flagged in two consecutive years, suggesting progressive corrosion that will likely lead to a structural failure in the near future.
