Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a low-mileage performance hatchback. The clean MOT history suggests a vehicle that has avoided common structural or safety failures during its time on the road.
When inspecting this specific 1368cc Abarth, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOT shows no mechanical failures, it does not confirm regular oil changes, which are critical for high-performance turbocharged engines like this one.
Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension noise, as these can indicate the driving style used during its relatively low mileage. Given the car's age and the fact that it has been driven less than 4,000 miles per year on average, ensure that the battery and rubber components (such as belts and hoses) have been checked for age-related degradation rather than just wear.
As a performance-oriented 1.4L petrol vehicle, running costs will be higher than a standard city car. You should expect higher fuel consumption due to the turbocharged engine and the driving nature typically associated with the Abarth brand.
Insurance groups for the 595 model tend to be mid-to-high, so obtain a quote based on your profile before purchasing. Maintenance costs will likely reflect the performance nature of the car, with premium tyres and performance brake pads being common requirements. Estimated annual running costs typically fall in the middle range for small performance hatchbacks.
Since the MOT history for EF14LLD shows zero defects across four years of testing, there are no specific recurring failure patterns to warn you about. However, you should still perform a thorough underside inspection for any signs of corrosion that may not have triggered an MOT failure yet.
Pay close attention to the turbocharger area for any signs of oil weeping and check the gearbox for smooth engagement. Because the mileage is low (35,139 miles), check that the vehicle has not suffered from 'short-trip syndrome,' where the engine hasn't reached optimal operating temperatures regularly, which can lead to carbon buildup.
This 2014 Abarth 595, finished in grey, presents with remarkably low mileage for its age, having covered just 35,139 miles as of its last MOT in May 2025. The MOT history is notably consistent, with four consecutive passes since 2022 and no recorded defects or failures in any of those tests. This combination of low usage and a defect-free testing record makes it a standout example within the 1.4L petrol enthusiast market.
No aggregate MOT data is currently available to provide a statistical reliability profile for the Abarth 595.
