2014 Fiat Panda 1.2L Petrol · YS64 FGP

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 34,017 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical and consumable issues have been addressed. This follows a period in 2024 where the car also passed without defects, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in rectifying faults previously identified by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,835 miles per year. Between December 2021 and November 2025, the car covered 11,521 miles, reflecting consistent low-distance use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to rubber-based components aging prematurely. The 2023 advisory regarding perishing on rear tyres confirms this risk, a common symptom of vehicles that sit for long periods rather than accumulating high mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking system as these have been recurring areas of concern. The 2022 test flagged a corroded rear coil spring, and the 2021 record noted oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber; while these have since passed, the buyer should check for further fluid leaks or structural rust on the spring mounting points. Additionally, since the front brake discs and pads were flagged in 2021, the current state of the friction material should be verified to ensure they have not become glazed or suffered corrosion due to low-frequency use.
