ABARTH 1242018 · 1.4L PETROL

The 2018 Abarth 124 has a very low mileage profile, having covered only 13,583 miles over approximately eight years. This equates to roughly 1,700 miles per year, which is significantly lower than average. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, such low usage can be ambiguous; it may indicate a well-maintained enthusiast car, or it could mean the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to component degradation. The condition trend for this vehicle is currently worsening. While the MOT history was largely clean between 2022 and 2025, the most recent test on 19 May 2026 recorded two new issues: an inoperative nearside registration plate lamp and a rear brake disc that is worn, pitted, or scored. The main risk pattern identified is linked to the vehicle's low usage. The pitted and scored brake disc is a common symptom of a car that has been sitting idle for extended periods, allowing surface corrosion to develop on the braking components. The emergence of these faults after several years of clean MOTs suggests that the lack of regular movement may be impacting the car's mechanical and electrical health. When inspecting this vehicle, you should first check the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of corrosion or heavy pitting. You should also thoroughly test all exterior lights and inspect the vehicle's underside for any signs of age-related corrosion.
