2017 ABARTH 6951.4L Petrol

The 2017 ABARTH 695 remains road‑worthy as of the latest MOT on 22 April 2026 at 52 144 miles. The vehicle passed all required tests, with the only issue flagged being an exhaust noise (8.1.1 (a)). No other defects were recorded, indicating that the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. The mileage record shows a relatively low annual average of roughly 5 800 miles, but there are notable fluctuations. From 34 496 miles in July 2020 to 43 081 miles in July 2021 the car accumulated 8 585 miles in one year, a higher than average rate. A further jump occurs between April 2023 (47 530 miles) and April 2024 (59 614 miles), an increase of 12 084 miles in twelve months. The 2025 test lists 50 773 miles, a figure that is lower than the 2024 reading, suggesting a data entry error rather than a true mileage reduction. Overall, the vehicle has been driven sparingly for most of its life, with occasional periods of heavier use. A prospective buyer should focus on the components that have shown recurring issues. The 2025 test recorded a worn rear brake disc and thin rear brake pads; inspecting the brake system for wear and potential binding calipers is advisable. The exhaust noise flagged in 2026 warrants a visual and acoustic check for leaks or damaged components. Tyre inspection should include the offside rear nail incidents in 2022 and 2023; verifying that the tyre is still in good condition and that the puncture has not caused sidewall damage is prudent. Finally, a quick scan for corrosion on the chassis, especially around the rear wheel arches where nails were found, will confirm that no structural rust has developed. In summary, the vehicle passes current road‑worthiness standards and shows a largely stable maintenance history, aside from the occasional brake wear and an exhaust noise. The low mileage suggests limited wear on beneficent components, but the buyer should verify the brake system, exhaust integrity, tyre condition, and any potential rust before purchase.
