2018 Abarth 124 1.4L Petrol · EN18 ZXC

The vehicle has very low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 2,676 miles per year. While low mileage can be attractive, the MOT history suggests this car has suffered from long periods of standing rather than just light use. The most recent MOT in November 2025 passed, but it revealed a worsening trend regarding the tyres. All four tyres were recorded as cracking or perishing, and a nail was found in the nearside front. This is a progression from the November 2024 test, which noted slight cracking on all four tyres. This pattern of rubber degradation is a classic sign of dry rot, which occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The condition of the tyres has clearly deteriorated over the last two years, moving from slight cracking to perishing. There is also evidence of brake issues linked to under-use. In November 2024, the service brakes on both the nearside and offside rear were recorded as fluctuating. While this was not mentioned in the 2025 report, it indicates that the braking system has previously shown signs of instability.
