2015 Fiat Panda 0.9L Petrol · YS64 UEV

The 2015 Fiat Panda presents a stable and recently improving roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 87,039 miles recorded a clean pass with zero defects, following a failure on the same day at 87,030 miles for a mismatched nearside front tyre and a missing central rear seat belt buckle. Both items were clearly rectified before the retest passed nine minutes later. This pattern indicates the previous owner addressed safety-critical faults promptly rather than deferring them. The 2024 test on 23 December at 81,585 miles also passed clean, as did the January 2024 test at 72,173 miles, confirming a broadly well-maintained vehicle through late 2024 and into 2025. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between January 2023 at 62,069 miles and December 2025 at 87,039 miles, the car covered roughly 25,000 miles in three years, averaging about 8,300 miles annually. That sits comfortably within typical use for an eleven-year-old city car. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the record that would suggest long periods of disuse or clocking concerns. The annual testing pattern from 2023 through 2025 further supports regular, ongoing use rather than neglect. The January 2023 test at 62,069 miles flagged slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint and the nearside front track rod end ball joint. Both advisories relate to steering and suspension wear, common on a car of this age and mileage. No repeat defects appeared in subsequent tests, suggesting these components were either replaced or remained within acceptable tolerance. A buyer should still physically inspect the front suspension for any renewed clunking, uneven tyre wear, or vague steering, as ball joints and track rod ends degrade gradually and can worsen without triggering an MOT failure until play becomes excessive. The December 2025 failure centred on a non-compliant tyre fitment and a missing seat belt buckle. These are not structural or mechanical concerns but rather indicators of how attentively the car was maintained between services. A tyre fitted contrary to sidewall instructions raises a question about the quality of recent tyre work. The missing buckle points to a possible oversight during interior cleaning or seat removal. Neither fault recurred, yet a buyer should verify the current tyre specifications match across all four corners and test every seat belt for secure latching before purchase.
