Buying Tips for the 2013–2016 Abarth 500 / 595 / 695 (Type 312)
- ✓Check for a comprehensive service history, as the 1.4 T-Jet engine requires frequent oil changes to maintain the turbocharger.
- ✓Inspect the Monza exhaust system on higher-spec models; the internal valve is notoriously prone to seizing open or shut.
- ✓Test all interior electronics, including the Blue&Me infotainment or newer Uconnect systems, which can suffer from connectivity drops.
- ✓Look closely at the condition of the sports seats; the bolsters wear quickly on heavily used examples.
- ✓Listen for knocks from the suspension over rough roads, as the stiff setup accelerates wear on top mounts and drop links.
