Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Fiat Panda Trussardi Owners

These checks follow this Fiat Panda Trussardi's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Fiat Panda Trussardi.

  • the coil springs — “coil spring fractured or broken”

    Look up inside each wheel arch with a torch, all the way round the spring. A snapped spring usually breaks at the very bottom coil, where a quick glance will not reach.

  • the wipers and washers — “wipers does not clear the windscreen effectively”

    Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

  • the suspension joints — “pins and bushes pin or bush excessively worn”

    With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Fiat Panda Trussardi. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
