2014 Fiat Panda 0.9L Petrol · YX14 UNP

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred repairs on secondary mechanical components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 45,972 miles flagged a minor exhaust gas leak at the flexi-pipe and a worn offside front suspension arm pin bush. These issues represent a progression from the deterioration noted in previous years, suggesting that while the car passes the minimum legal requirements, components are reaching the end of their functional life without replacement. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 45,972 miles reflects a low average of approximately 3,831 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with intervals of roughly 1,000 to 1,700 miles between the annual tests from 2021 to 2025. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often allows rubber-based components like suspension bushes and exhaust mounts to perish and degrade due to age and exposure rather than mechanical stress. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the exhaust system and suspension. The record shows a persistent history of exhaust issues starting from 2021 corroded mountings in 2022, leading to a deteriorating flexible pipe in 2024 and a confirmed leak in 2025. Furthermore, the offside front suspension arm bush requires immediate attention to prevent uneven tyre wear or handling instability. The offside rear passenger door catch noted in October 2022 should also be tested to ensure the mechanism has not seized further, as this was a noted functional failure that hindered door operation.
