Fiat Panda 1000 Cl (1987)
1987 Fiat Panda 1000 Cl
CarHunch is tracking 5,865 1987 Fiat Panda 1000 Cl vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
None of the 5,865 Fiat Pandas from 1987 in this dataset passed their MOT, which is catastrophically below the 80% UK average—though this almost certainly means these vehicles are no longer being tested because they've been scrapped or taken off the road entirely. With a median CarHunch score of just 50 and zero pass rate across the board, any 1987 Panda still on British roads today would be extremely unlikely to pass an MOT due to age-related corrosion, worn components, and obsolete safety standards.
The median mileage of 92,741 is actually reasonable for a 37-year-old car, but this data reflects vehicles that are now historical curiosities rather than practical purchases. If you're considering one, treat it as a classic or restoration project only—it will almost certainly fail an MOT test and cannot be legally driven without one.
We have 5,865 1987 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 1987 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.
