2008 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · YL08 SFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean pass record over several years. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 123,334 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure on the same day. This sequence suggests that whatever mechanical or structural issue triggered the initial failure was identified and rectified immediately before the passing result. The absence of recorded advisories across the last four tests indicates that the vehicle is maintained to a high standard regarding safety-critical components. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,852 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 98,308 miles and January 2024 at 107,802 miles, the car covered roughly 9,500 miles, showing a typical usage rate. The subsequent gap of 15,532 miles between January 2024 and February 2026 reflects a slight increase in usage but confirms the vehicle remains driven regularly, which is beneficial for preventing the seal failure and corrosion often associated with long periods of stationary use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as older Fiat Pandas are prone to corrosion despite a clean MOT history. While the record is clean, the high mileage suggests that the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for wear or fatigue. Given the February 2026 failure, it is worth verifying the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was a minor component replacement rather than a symptom of a deeper mechanical decline. The overall data points to an owner who is proactive about maintenance.
