2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · DX68 RVT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass on 11 July 2025 at 46,677 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record demonstrates a reactive approach to repairs. While the car failed just one week prior on 4 July 2025 at 46,647 miles due to a non-functional offside side repeater and a fractured nearside rear coil spring, these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a successful re-test with no further defects. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,835 miles per year. Data shows steady usage patterns, with a progression from 34,336 miles in August 2023 to 41,990 miles in July 2024. This low-frequency usage suggests the engine and drivetrain components have faced less mechanical stress than a high-mileage counterpart. However, the low mileage can sometimes lead to accelerated rubber component degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between trips. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear suspension components, as the nearside coil spring previously failed in 2025. It is advisable to check the opposite side spring for similar fatigue or corrosion, as failure on one side often indicates the other is nearing. The 2023 failure involving both rear tyres having tread depths below the 1.6mm legal limit indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance in the past. Verify the current age and condition of all four tyres to ensure they have not perished from age, given the vehicle's age and low annual mileage.
