2018 Fiat Panda 0.9L Petrol · YE68 DBR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 28 July 2025 at 27,154 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a single momentary failure related to parking brake efficiency during that same test. The fact that the car passed immediately after the failure suggests the owner addressed the mechanical deficiency promptly to maintain legal compliance. No recurring mechanical faults or escalating structural issues have been recorded over the last four years of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 11,403 miles and the July 2025 test at 27,154 miles, the car covered roughly 16,000 miles. This low-distance usage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low mileage often masks the degradation of rubber-based components or potential corrosion on brake discs and calipers if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the parking brake mechanism in person to ensure the adjustment made in 2025 remains effective. Given the low annual mileage, the tester should look for flat spots on the tyres or corrosion on the brake rotors which can occur with infrequent use. Checking the suspension bushes and chassis integrity is also advisable, as age-related perishability can occur regardless of how few miles are recorded on the odometer.
