ABARTH 5952011 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The latest MOT test conducted on 20 March 2025 at 13,496 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in December 2023, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed and rectified the identified issue promptly. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 900 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 7,863 miles and December 2022 at 9,907 miles, the car covered only 2,000 miles in fourteen months. This suggests the vehicle has been subject to long periods of stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the specific risks related to rubber degradation, flat-spotting, and brake fluid contamination due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components sensitive to low-mileage storage conditions. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as inactivity often leads to seizing. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking or dry rot, which occurs over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, verify the age code on the tyres, as high tread depth may mask aged rubber that has lost structural integrity.
