2011 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · YP11 AEF

The vehicle currently registers as roadworthy, having passed the 26 February 2026 MOT at 149,555 miles with no recorded defects. The preceding day's failure for an off‑side front shock absorber leak indicates that the issue was remedied before the next test, suggesting a responsive maintenance approach. Across the ten‑year record, recurring suspension wear, brake‑pipe corrosion and exhaust leaks appear, but no progressive deterioration is evident; the trend can be described as stable after recent corrective work. At 149,555 miles the car averages just under 10,000 miles per annum, a figure typical for a 2011 model. The mileage rose from 145,067 miles in February 2025 to 149,555 miles by February 2026, a consistent increase of roughly 4,500 miles in twelve months. Earlier intervals show similar annual growth, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods, indicating steady use rather than periods of neglect. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension assembly; the 2023 failure noted excessive wear of front arm pins and bushes, and the 2026 shock absorber leak underscores the need for a thorough inspection of shock bodies and bush condition. Brake pipe corrosion, recorded repeatedly from 2021 onward, warrants visual checking for rust or grease build‑up that could impede future inspections. The exhaust system has shown both minor and major leaks, most recently a leak from the off‑side front exhaust in 2025, so a leak test and inspection of manifold bolts and gaskets are advisable. Finally, tyre tread depth, especially on the off‑side front tyre, should be measured to confirm compliance, and any signs of rust on suspension components should be evaluated for structural integrity.
