Classic Panda being sold as described.  This car has been in two families since new and has received an annual service.  The cam belt belt was replaced in 2010, (it is a non- interference engine anyway).  We had Vredestein snow tyres fitted for the recent severe winters. The usual tyres are included in the sales and are in excellent condition and improve the cornering slightly.

Rust.
- modest rust at base of driver side door.
- rear brake pipes corroded but serviceable.
- nearside rear lower suspension component mounting area needs doing (quoted £110).
- nearside front lower seat belt anchorage area needs doing (quoted £80).

Each year at MOT we have had the rust issues addressed. Usually costs £150.

Engineering issues
- Front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover deteriorated (£15).
- nearside front CV gaiter insecure (£10)
- front discs are nearing wear limit, but pass MOT (see below).
- rear windscreen wiper fitting is fatigued.

Battery and charge circuit is excellent although the charge light does glimmer when the headlights are on.  I believe this is backshine as the car charges perfectly.

Exhaust Emissions Sept 2012
Fast idle CO, HC, Lambda - all Pass.
Natural idle CO, HC, Lambda - all Pass.

Brakes Sept 2012
RBT Service Brakes efficiency 57%.
RBT Park Brake efficiency 17%
A Pass but which only just meets the required brake efficiency.

Body.
Pretty good all in all, but not concourse.  The front fender is bolted on and slightly out of shape.

Interior
Quite nice. No burns.  Clean colour.

Reason for sale.
Kids up and running now and have their own cars.  Delayed this for a year but time for someone else to enjoy.
