2017 Fiat Panda 1.2L Diesel · YT17 AEA

The 2017 Fiat Panda demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-06-13 at 70,823 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The prior three tests from 2024-06-10 to 2023-03-01 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test on 2023-06-13 at identical mileage (62,169 miles) was recorded as ‘no defects’, suggesting a potential administrative error or unrecorded issue. Overall, the vehicle shows no evidence of worsening mechanical or structural faults. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,869 miles annually. The 2023-06-13 test occurred just eight days after a pass on 2023-06-05, with no recorded defects, raising questions about the fail’s validity. The 2023-03-01 test at 61,978 miles shows a 191-mile jump to 62,169 by 2023-06-13, which may reflect short-term usage or a data inconsistency. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the MOT history remains largely clean. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear. The absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden issues, such as minor corrosion or binding calipers, which may require a hands-on inspection. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or panel damage could affect long-term reliability. The MOT record suggests no urgent risks but underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase check.
