2017 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · YS17 VJA

The 2017 Fiat Panda presents a stable and generally well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 5 June 2026 at 52,837 miles. The only defect recorded in that most recent test was a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, a minor consumable issue. Looking back, the maintenance trend is one of consistent, low-level upkeep rather than neglect. The vehicle has passed every test, with advisories limited to tyres and front brake pads, indicating a pattern of routine replacement rather than the development of serious, unresolved mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation of approximately 5,871 miles per year is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady and consistent progression, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps between the annual tests. The mileage increased by 5,564 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, then by 5,215 miles to May 2024, and by 5,643 miles to June 2025, before a final increment of 4,507 miles to the June 2026 test. This pattern suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is a positive indicator for the condition of components like the exhaust system and engine seals. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front suspension and steering geometry. The recurring advisories for front tyre wear, specifically the nearside edge wear noted in both 2023 and 2026, point to a potential alignment or tracking issue that may not have been fully corrected. While the front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in 2023, the absence of a repeat advisory in subsequent years suggests they were replaced, but the condition of the front brake discs should be checked for uneven wear or lipping. The single advisory for a perishing nearside rear tyre in 2024 was not repeated, indicating it was likely replaced, but a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls and the spare is prudent given the vehicle's age.
