2020 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · E25 EAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the 13 May 2026 MOT at 30 708 miles, yet the immediate preceding test on 5 May 2026 failed with direction‑indicator flashing, tyre wear, a rear‑offside ply exposure and a nearside front suspension arm pin or bush defect. The rapid retest and pass suggest the faults were rectified, but the appearance of multiple issues in the same month marks a worsening trend after a clean period in 2025. Mileage accumulation has been low overall, but a notable jump occurred between the 29 August 2025 test (23 846 miles) and the May 2026 tests (30 708 miles), adding roughly 6 862 miles in nine months. This rate is far above the vehicle’s historic average of about 5 000 miles per year and indicates either a recent increase in usage or a possible inconsistency in the recorded data. Earlier entries show stable low mileage, with the 27 April 2024 test recorded at 20 609 miles, and the 13 May 2023 test at 17 662 miles. A prospective buyer should inspect the direction‑indicator side repeaters for excessive flashing, check tyre tread depth and look for ply or cord exposure on the rear offside tyre, and examine the nearside front suspension arm pin and bush for wear. Verify that the registration plates meet specification, and assess brake components such as calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear. Finally, look for any signs of corrosion or structural damage, especially around the exhaust and chassis, to ensure the low‑mileage claim aligns with the physical condition of the car.
