ABARTH 124 SPIDER MULTIAIR2018 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is roadworthy as confirmed by its most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 (17,708 miles), which recorded no defects. Maintenance trends reflect stability, with all prior tests since 2021 also passing with no advisories or failures. The absence of recurring faults across five consecutive passes indicates consistent compliance with legal standards, though no specific work details are captured in the MOT records. The mileage progression aligns with infrequent use, accumulating approximately 2,200 miles annually over eight years. The largest annual increase occurred between the 2021 (11,815 miles) and 2022 (14,532 miles) tests, adding 2,717 miles, while subsequent increments remained modest. This pattern suggests periods of limited activity, which may raise risks of battery degradation, rubber component perishability, or corrosion in seldom-used mechanical systems. However, the low mileage generally reduces wear on high-consumption parts like brakes and suspension. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation, as these can deteriorate over time even with minimal use. Braking components—pads, discs, and calipers—should be assessed for corrosion or uneven wear, given the tester’s failure to flag issues in prior tests. The exhaust system, particularly under the floorpan, warrants scrutiny for corrosion due to the vehicle’s age and low mileage. Structural integrity in the chassis and body panels, especially around the convertible roof mechanism, should be examined for rust or damage not detected in MOTs. Tyre condition, including dry rot from prolonged parking, and battery health should also be verified, as these are not MOT failure criteria but critical for safe operation.
