2017 ABARTH 595 TURISMO1.4L PETROL

The vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards as of 2026-06-17, but the MOT history indicates a potential trend of worsening maintenance. The most recent test on 2026-05-24 at 71,476 miles passed with no defects, establishing a baseline. However, a significant gap exists between the 2021-09-13 test (43,134 miles) and the 2023-01-09 test (57,936 miles), creating a gap of approximately 14,802 miles. This gap suggests that while the car likely underwent routine servicing during the 2021-2023 period, the subsequent years were characterized by accelerated wear or skipped maintenance, leading to a gradual increase in the number of recorded faults. The 2025-04-04 test at 68,032 miles also passed, but this result is less reliable than the 2026-05-24 test due to the 14,000-mile interval, which may have masked wear on components such as suspension or brakes. The overall maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating rather than stable, as the vehicle has not consistently passed tests within the last year without defects. The mileage pattern reflects a typical trajectory for a 2017 model: approximately 7,942 miles per year. This rate is consistent with the vehicle's age, implying that consumption rates have remained relatively constant over the last decade. However, the gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests highlights a potential issue with the drivetrain or suspension system, where components may have accumulated wear or binding calipers. The 2025-04-04 test at 68,032 miles passed, but this result is less definitive than the 2026-05-24 test at 71,476 miles, which passed with no defects. The lack of a clean record in the 2024-2025 period suggests that the car has not been inspected in a year of low mileage, potentially leading to a buildup of defects in the braking system or suspension bushings. The data shows no rapid acceleration in mileage during the 2021-2023 period, but the gap between 2021 and 2023 points to a period of slower maintenance compared to the 2026-2025 period. In summary, the vehicle is roadworthy but requires careful inspection of the 2023-2025 period. Given the gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests, the buyer must verify the condition of suspension components, brake discs, and binding calipers, as these are the most common causes for defects in this mileage range. Structural risks such as rust or corrosion in the chassis may also be present if the vehicle has not been serviced in a year of low mileage. A thorough visual inspection is essential to rule out issues like binding brakes or excessive vibration, as these could have masked the 2026-05-24 test result. The lack of a clean MOT record in the 2024-2025 period suggests that the car may have been driven for extended periods without regular checks, increasing the likelihood of developing structural or mechanical faults.
