Car statistics
How many Fiat Pandas are still on the road in Great Britain, how many are declared off the road, how new registrations have changed and which fuels they use. Built from DVLA licensing records and 84,807 DVSA MOT tests.
There were 78,563 Fiat Pandas licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 7,710 declared off the road (SORN). That is 24.5% fewer than the peak of 104,061 in 2017.
Numbers peaked in 2017 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.

In 2025, 64.1% of Fiat Panda MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Fiat Pandas tested pass 66.7% of the time, so the Fiat Panda does worse than average for its age, by 2.6 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 64.6%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

Suspension is the most common reason a Fiat Panda fails its MOT, appearing on 47.3% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 8.4% of Fiat Panda tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

The single most common reason a Fiat Panda failed its MOT in 2025 was “Suspension arms: pin or bush excessively worn”, on 10.4% of 30,452 failed tests. 62.1% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Fiat Panda from 2004 to 2024. On the WLTP test (listings 2020 to 2024), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 36.7 to 61.0 mpg, with CO2 of 105 to 170 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2004 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 42.8 to 74.3 mpg, with CO2 of 95 to 156 g/km.

DVSA lists 15 safety recalls for the Fiat Panda since 1992, the first in 2007. The most recent was launched on 24 March 2025.
All 15 Fiat Panda recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Fiat Panda. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
