The most common problems on the Fiat Panda 1000 Clx Ie are suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (54 recorded failures), seat belt anchorage prescribed area is excessively corroded (32), and parking brake: efficiency below requirements (30). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

A typical Fiat Panda 1000 Clx Ie owner drives around 3,879 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.
