Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence. This particular
When inspecting this 1.4L MultiAir model, verify the service history specifically regarding oil changes, as turbocharged engines require strict adherence to schedules. While the MOT history shows no defects, you should still check the condition of the convertible roof mechanism and seals, as these are common areas of interest for roadsters.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the record is clean, the 42,188 miles recorded in October 2025 is higher than the mathematical average for a vehicle of this age based on aggregate data. Ensure all electrical components, particularly those related to the headlamps and wipers (noted as common failure points for this model type), are functioning correctly.
Running this Abarth involves typical sports car considerations. The 1368cc petrol engine is relatively efficient for its performance bracket, but insurance groups for Abarth models tend to be higher due to their performance profile.
Expect maintenance costs to be slightly higher than a standard hatchback, particularly for specialist parts related to the MultiAir system. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic maintenance, are estimated to sit within a moderate range for a performance-oriented small roadster.
Given that 'tyre', 'windscreen wiper', and 'headlamp' are the top failure reasons for this model aggregate, perform a thorough check of the tread depth on all four tyres and the condition of the wiper blades. Inspect the headlamp units for any signs of condensation or UV degradation.
Additionally, check the underside for any signs of corrosion and ensure the convertible top operates smoothly without hesitation. While no defects were recorded in the recent MOT history, a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components is always advised for a vehicle with over 40,000 miles.
This Black Abarth 124 Spider MULTIAIR has covered 42,188 miles since its first registration in September 2016. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing MOT tests without any recorded defects from 2021 through to 2025. Compared to the model aggregate average of 3,969 miles per year, this example has been driven slightly more than the typical specimen in our database.
The Abarth 124 Spider shows a high average MOT pass rate of 91.2% across 1,076 analysed vehicles.
