2015 ABARTH 5001.4L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a generally roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear-related items. The most recent test on May 21, 2024 at 79,829 miles identified pitting and scoring on both front brake discs. While these did not result in a failure, they indicate the braking components are reaching the end of their effective life. Prior to this, the vehicle showed a period of clean passes with no defects recorded between 2020 and 2023. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,257 miles per year over its 11-year life. There is a notable gap in data between March 2018 and March 2019, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in a single year. Since 2019, usage has stabilized to roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. This steady mileage suggests the car has not been neglected through long periods despite the gradual degradation of rubber and metal components seen in the later records. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and braking system during a physical inspection. The 2022 test flagged play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which should be verified to ensure the part was replaced and that wear has not since progressed. Given the 2024 advisory regarding pitted front brake discs, immediate replacement of the rotors is likely necessary to ensure optimal stopping performance. Additionally, the history of an insecure driver-side door handle appearing in both 2018 and 2019 suggests the mechanism may be temperamental and should be checked for structural integrity within the door assembly.
