ABARTH 124 SPIDER MULTIAIR2018 · 1.4L PETROL

The Abarth 124 Spider presents an exceptionally clean MOT record. The most recent test, conducted on 18 February 2026 at 21,193 miles, passed with zero defects. This is not an isolated result. The full history, stretching back to March 2022, shows five consecutive passes with no advisories or failures whatsoever. The maintenance trend is demonstrably stable and reflects a vehicle that has been consistently kept in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. Over approximately four years of recorded history, the car has covered just 14,442 miles, averaging roughly 3,600 miles per year. The progression is steady and unremarkable: 6,751 miles in March 2022, 9,205 miles by February 2023, 13,251 miles in February 2024, 16,080 miles in February 2025, and 21,193 miles in February 2026. There are no sudden jumps suggesting prolonged high-mileage use, nor suspiciously large gaps that might indicate the vehicle sat unused for extended periods. The annual increments hover between 2,400 and 5,100 miles, which is entirely consistent with regular but restrained weekend or fair-weather driving. Despite the spotless record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection given the car's age and low-mileage profile. Low-use vehicles can develop issues that MOTs do not always catch, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, deteriorated brake seals from infrequent use, or surface corrosion on exhaust components caused by short trips that prevent full thermal cycling. The tyres, likely original or near-original given the mileage, deserve close scrutiny for sidewall cracking and date codes, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. A test drive should focus on checking for any binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, and smooth operation of the Multiair engine under load. The clean MOT history strongly suggests attentive prior ownership, but it does not replace a hands-on mechanical inspection. A pre-purchase inspection by a competent technician, ideally one familiar with Fiat Group products, remains the most reliable way to confirm that the structural integrity, suspension components, and drivetrain are in the condition this paperwork implies.
