2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · AP18 ADE

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 13,012 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very limited use. The mileage is remarkably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,626 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and gradual, increasing from 7,089 miles in May 2021 to 13,012 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic spikes in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing intervals that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or periods of neglect. While the lack of MOT advisories is positive, the low mileage introduces specific risks associated with vehicles that stand for long periods. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as inactivity often leads to seized components. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or age-related perishing, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Attention should also be paid to the battery health and fluid conditions. Low-mileage engines can suffer from moisture buildup in the oil or degraded coolant if not cycled regularly. Checking for any signs of rodent damage to the wiring looms is also advisable for cars that spend significant time stationary. Beyond these low-use precautions, the DVSA data indicates a mechanically sound vehicle.
