2019 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · BJ69 FXM

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 with 21,189 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a technical failure in early 2025. While the car initially failed the February 2025 test due to headlamp intensity issues caused by aftermarket LED bulbs, the issue was clearly rectified as the vehicle passed the retest that same day. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles annually. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2023 at 12,152 miles and September 2024 at 18,630 miles, where the car covered over 6,000 miles in a year. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but can also lead to flat spotting or dry seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber, which showed light oil misting in September 2024 test at 18,630 miles. Although this did not cause a failure, it indicates the beginning of a seal failure that may require eventual replacement. The 2024 advisory also noted both front tyres worn to the legal limit and on the edge, which suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven wear. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which often affects vehicles that are not used frequently.
