Our Verdict

This 2020 Abarth 595 presents a relative

When inspecting this Abarth 595, pay close attention to the items flagged in the January 2026 MOT test. Specifically, verify whether the nearside front shock absorber misting requires attention and check the condition of all four tyres, as the last test noted inner-edge baldness and tyre damage. Ensure that alignment checks are performed to prevent premature tyre wear, which is a known trait if suspension geometry is out of true.

Review the accompanying service records to verify how regularly maintenance has been carried out alongside the annual MOT tests. Check the bodywork for stone chips and car park dings, particularly around the lower front bumper and side skirts, which are vulnerable on hot hatches. Confirm that all electrical equipment, including the infotainment system and steering wheel controls, functions correctly during your test drive.

Equipped with a 1368.0cc petrol engine meeting Euro 6 DG standards, this Abarth 595 will fall into standard UK VED vehicle tax brackets for its registration year. Fuel economy will vary depending on driving style; enthusiastic driving on B-roads will see economy drop, while motorway cruising will yield more moderate returns.

Insurance groups for the Abarth 595 typically sit in the mid-to-high range due to its performance focus, so younger or less experienced drivers should obtain quotes prior to purchase. Routine maintenance costs are generally reasonable given the Fiat 500 underpinnings, though performance parts such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components will cost more than a standard city car. Estimated annual running costs are around £1,400 to £1,800, factoring in fuel, insurance, tax, and servicing.

Begin your inspection underneath the car, focusing on the nearside front shock absorber where a light misting of oil was recorded in January 2026. Inspect the suspension arms, bushes, and springs for wear, corrosion, or leaks.

Examine the tyres carefully across the full tread width. The January 2026 MOT noted tyres worn on the inner edge and close to the legal limit, alongside a nail in the nearside rear tyre. Check that these have been replaced with correct-spec rubber (such as 205/40ZR19 if applicable, or standard factory dimensions). Finally, test the rear wiper blade operation, as a split blade was flagged on the most recent test.

First registered in July 2020, this red petrol-powered Abarth 595 with a 1368.0cc engine has covered 23,223 miles. Its MOT history shows four tests from 2023 to 2026, all resulting in passes, though the most recent test in January 2026 included multiple advisories regarding tyres and suspension. The mileage is well below the national average for a 2020 vehicle.

Aggregate reliability data for the Abarth 595 is not available, but its mechanical components share much with the wider Fiat 500 range, though performance tuning requires diligent upkeep.
