# 1986 FIAT PANDA 1000 CL – MOT Analysis
This cohort has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%, signalling serious systemic issues—though the absence of any recorded dangerous defects (0%) is a small mercy. The zero failures and zero advisories recorded across 3,946 vehicles is statistically impossible and indicates these cars are almost certainly no longer appearing for MOT testing, likely because they've been scrapped or removed from the road.
With a median mileage of 75,569 miles for vehicles now 38 years old, survivors are relatively low-mileage examples, but at this age there are essentially no active 1986 Pandas left in regular use. If you're considering one, treat it as a classic car project rather than practical transport—have a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist and budget heavily for recommissioning.
We have 3,946 1986 Fiat Panda 1000 Cl vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1986 Fiat Panda 1000 Cl
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
