UK

This 1986 Fiat Panda Super S/R falls outside the DVLA's light-vehicle MOT database, so no pass rates or defect statistics are available to assess its current reliability. With 505 vehicles in the cohort but zero recorded failures, advisories, or dangerous defects, the data suggests either very limited MOT records or that these cars are rarely still in active use—which makes sense for a model now nearly 40 years old. The median CarHunch score of 50 reflects genuine scarcity of usable test data rather than poor condition. If you're considering one of these classics, focus on the vehicle's service history, bodywork integrity (rust is the Panda's enemy), and mechanical inspection by a specialist rather than relying on MOT statistics, as the testing regime has changed substantially since 1986 and surviving examples are becoming increasingly rare.

MOT statistics not available

We have 505 1986 Fiat Panda Super S/r vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
