Panda 100hp Buying Guide

Binding rear brakes on early models, rusty exhausts, don't get too hung up this, they pretty much rolled off the production line like that so if it's not blowing you can just scrape off the loose rust, clean it up with a wire brush and slap on a couple of coats of exhaust paint.

The fog lamps have a plastic diffuser in them which discolours, it doesn’t affect operation it just looks a bit naff. Fortunately pattern lamps are about £15 and a synch to replace.

Give the wheels a once over for any obvious flats buckles and cracks, anything untoward here should also be apparent on the test drive.

A space saver spare was standard on the 100hp but depending on which way the wind was blowing in Tychy on the day the one you are looking at was built the tool kit will either reside in a plastic tray in the wheel well or a canvas bag in the boot. Either way check that this is present and correct. A can of foam and inflator were an option so if the original purchaser specified this option you will find the tools in the wheel well along with the aforementioned can of foam, which hopefully hasn’t been deployed, otherwise this is an MOT failure so you’ll need to procure a replacement.
