2023 Fiat Panda Garmin Mhev 1.0L Petrol · YA73 UBO

A clean MOT record to date indicates the car has not presented any recorded safety or emissions defects, with the latest test on 14 August 2026 passing without remarks. With only a single MOT entry, there is no evidence of recurring advisories or failures, suggesting a stable road‑worthiness profile so far. At three years old and 25 530 miles, the average annual accumulation is roughly 8 500 miles, which sits comfortably within typical UK usage patterns for a small city car. The mileage progression shows no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps between tests, implying regular use rather than extended periods of storage that could conceal hidden deterioration. When you inspect the vehicle, pay particular attention to the brake system—listen for any squeal or grinding from the discs and feel for pedal pulsation that could hint at warped rotors or uneven pad wear. Examine the tyre tread depth and sidewalls for uneven wear that might reveal mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, and press the steering wheel at low speed to detect any pull or vibration that could indicate worn tie‑rod ends or degraded king‑pin bushes. A quick visual check of the exhaust system for rusted mounts or cracked pipes, and a brief engine idle observation for excessive smoke or irregular idle, will help confirm that no latent faults have emerged since the last test. Given the spotless MOT history, the next test should be scheduled before the twelve‑month expiry to maintain compliance. A thorough pre‑purchase test drive that includes brisk braking, cornering at moderate speed, and a short acceleration run will expose any emerging wear on the clutch, gearbox, or drivetrain that would not yet have triggered an MOT failure. Confirm that all lights, indicators, and the horn operate correctly, and verify that the vehicle’s registration and VIN details match the documentation before finalising the purchase.
