2017 Abarth 124 Spider Multiair Auto 1.4L Petrol · FP17 AWO

The vehicle presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 April 2025 at 64,748 miles with zero defects or advisories. The complete absence of recurring mechanical faults across the recorded history indicates a well-maintained powertrain and chassis. A clean pass with no advisories suggests the previous owner addressed minor wear items proactively rather than allowing them to escalate into failures. However, the most recent test occurred over fourteen months ago, meaning a fresh assessment is due imminently. The annualized mileage of roughly 7,194 miles aligns perfectly with typical light-use patterns for a nine-year-old sports car. Between the March 2022 test at 48,474 miles and the December 2022 test at 53,050 miles, the car covered 4,576 miles in nine months, demonstrating regular use. The subsequent intervals show steady accumulation: 7,112 miles over the following year and 2,411 miles over the seven months preceding the May 2024 test. Most notably, the vehicle has covered just 2,175 miles in the thirteen months between the May 2024 and April 2025 tests, indicating a recent period of significantly reduced usage or potential long-term standing. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential due to the recent drop in mileage. Prolonged standing can cause flat-spotting on tyres and corrosion on brake discs, even if the pads and calipers remain within tolerance. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, as low-mileage sports cars often suffer from dry rot rather than wear and tear. Check the exhaust system for surface corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody, paying close attention to the subframes and mounting points common to the Fiat 124 platform. The automatic gearbox should be checked for smooth shifting, as the Multiair engine's torque delivery can stress the transmission over time.
