2017 ABARTH 5951.4L PETROL

High Risk of Serious Damage and Safety Hazard Recent MOT Outcome: The most recent inspection (2025-08-21) was a failure, specifically citing an engine malfunction (8.2.1.2 (h)) and a failed offside rear coil spring (5.3.1 (b) (i)). While the engine passed in 2025, the 2024-08-09 failure indicates that the vehicle has suffered multiple catastrophic failures within the last 4 years. Risk Pattern: The recurring pattern is severe wear and tear on critical components, particularly the suspension system and the transmission. The failure of the offside rear coil spring and the cut in the rear tyre suggest that the vehicle has been subjected to high stress on these areas, likely due to frequent off-road use or heavy driving. Condition Trend: The trend looks to be worsening . The progression from a failed engine in 2025 to two distinct failures in 2024 and a failed suspension part in 2024 demonstrates that the vehicle is deteriorating rapidly. The engine MIL (Engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp) in the 2025 report is a critical sign that the engine is likely failing soon. Mileage Analysis: The mileage relative to age (5,085 miles per year) is low for a 9-year-old vehicle, which is generally expected. However, this low mileage does not guarantee a healthy vehicle. The fact that the engine and suspension have failed within a short timeframe suggests that the vehicle has experienced very high hard use or significant wear on consumables.
