2016 ABARTH 595C1.4L PETROL

The vehicle currently maintains a positive roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 June 2025 at 29,279 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just one week prior on 13 June 2025 at 29,243 miles, which suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying issues to ensure compliance before the re-test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,928 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 3,456 miles, while the subsequent year saw a slightly lower accumulation of 3,357 miles. This consistent low-mileage usage indicates minimal wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also introduces risks associated with rubber-based parts degrading or brake components seizing due to long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on signs of low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a car is not used frequently. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or per, as these materials age by time rather than distance traveled. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2025, verify that the specific components addressed during those tests were replaced with high-quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
