2004 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · YR04 ANP

The vehicle is currently recorded as roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 8 November 2021 at 91,392 miles. The pattern of results shows a generally stable trend; the car has repeatedly cleared the test after addressing failures, yet a handful of minor advisory items persist, notably an insecure off‑side side repeater, slight free play in the near‑side steering rack, and a missing rear bump stop. Mileage averages roughly 4,150 miles per year over a 22‑year lifespan, indicating very low utilisation. Between the 6 November 2020 test at 87,933 miles and the 8 November 2021 test the odometer rose by 3,459 miles, a typical annual increment. Earlier records show similar modest gains, for example from 81,717 miles in November 2018 to 84,338 miles in November 2019. No abrupt spikes or gaps appear, suggesting the recorded mileage is consistent and the vehicle has not been subjected to high‑stress mileage bursts. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the suspension and steering assemblies, which have been flagged repeatedly for worn bushings, excessive play in the front arms, and corrosion of rear coil springs. The steering rack’s slight free play observed in the 2021 test warrants a hands‑on check for binding or noise. The missing rear bump stop and the insecure side repeater identified in the latest MOT are easy‑to‑replace items but should be verified for proper fit. Structural corrosion noted on rear sub‑frames and seat‑belt anchorage in earlier years calls for a visual inspection of the chassis for any progression. Although no brake failures were recorded, the 2019 test highlighted front tyre tread at the legal limit, so tyre depth and overall condition must be confirmed. Finally, confirm that the fog lamp and exhaust mounting, which previously failed, are now functional and securely attached.
