2015 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · YD65 NBG

The 2015 Fiat Panda’s most recent MOT test on 2024-10-12 at 40,132 miles passed without any defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive tests—spanning from 2022 to 2024—indicates a stable maintenance history, though the record’s silence does not guarantee hidden issues. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, and structural checks suggests no major deferred repairs or neglect. However, the 2022 duplicate entry (a failed test followed immediately by a pass at the same mileage) is unusual and warrants scrutiny—it may reflect administrative error or a brief oversight in pre-test preparation. The recorded mileage of 40,132 miles over 11 years—roughly 3,648 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting prolonged periods of inactivity or very light use. The largest mileage jump occurred between the 2023-06-20 test (25,481 miles) and the 2023-10-24 test (29,164 miles), a 3,683-mile increase in just four months, which could indicate either a single owner’s intensive use or a change in ownership with minimal pre-test servicing. The gap between the 2022-11-16 tests (both at 23,816 miles) is also notable, though the immediate pass suggests no unresolved mechanical issues at the time. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced prolonged storage. Corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined closely, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failures, should be verified, as the absence of tread-related advisories might imply recent replacements or inconsistent upkeep. Finally, the engine bay and exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive wear, as these are common areas for deferred maintenance in older vehicles.
