ABARTH 5952018 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2018 Abarth 595 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-05 at 13,362 miles recording no defects. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The sole failure in 2023-03-03 at 7,606 miles was noted as having no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or non-technical failure. No recurring mechanical faults or escalating issues are evident in the record, supporting the conclusion of a well-maintained vehicle. The vehicle’s mileage of 13,362 miles over eight years equates to approximately 1,670 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage aligns with MOT tests spaced 12 months apart, with gradual mileage increases from 7,606 to 13,362 miles. Notably, the 2023-03-10 test at 7,696 miles occurred just a week after the failed test, raising questions about the validity of the failure. The sparse defect history implies minimal wear on consumables, though prolonged low-mileage operation could mask issues like suspension bush wear or brake component corrosion. A buyer should verify the condition of the exhaust system, as low mileage may obscure leaks or rust. Inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, which can occur during inactivity. Check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as infrequent use may lead to corrosion. Confirm the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly around the subframe, and review service records to ensure the vehicle has not been stored in adverse conditions. The MOT history suggests no critical faults, but physical inspection remains essential to validate the record.
