ABARTH 5002014 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent testing cycles. The latest MOT conducted on 31 July 2025 at 89,813 miles returned with no defects, mirroring the clean result from August 2024 at 89,767 miles. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical or safety failures over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in recorded data between May 2021 at 73,814 miles and May 2022 at 85,408 miles, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in a single year. However, the usage has slowed significantly recently, with only 46 miles recorded between the August 2024 and July 2025 tests. This drop in mileage can lead to issues such as flat spotted tyres if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the period around May 2022 when the vehicle failed its test at 85,213 miles before passing a week later. While the record does not specify the exact reason for that failure, the quick retest indicates a component that required immediate replacement. Given the age of the Abarth 500, a thorough check of structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting is essential, as low-mileage cars often mask environmental degradation of rubber components despite the low odometer reading.
