ABARTH 1242017 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 with no defects recorded, indicating it is currently in a roadworthy condition. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old car, averaging roughly 1,747 miles per year. While this means there is very little drivetrain wear, the low usage suggests the car has spent significant periods standing still. There is a clear pattern of deterioration linked to inactivity rather than hard use. The 2022 MOT noted pitted and scored rear brake discs, and the 2024 MOT recorded front tyres that were cracking and perishing. These are classic signs of a vehicle that has sat idle, allowing brake surfaces to corrode and tyre rubber to degrade from age rather than tread wear. The overall condition trend appears stable, as the most recent test was clean. However, the history confirms that the car is susceptible to "perishing" and "pitting" when not driven regularly. A buyer should first inspect all tyres for sidewall cracking and check the brake discs for surface corrosion. You should also examine other rubber components, such as hoses and seals, which may have hardened or perished due to the low-mileage usage pattern.
