2013 Abarth 500 1.4L Petrol · EO63 VAU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 September 2025 at 42,626 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025. These results suggest that minor, rectable issues are identified and addressed immediately prior to testing rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical failure or structural decay. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,279 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 38,268 miles and the September 2025 test at 42,626 miles, the car covered 4,358 miles. This consistent low usage suggests light travel, which typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake lines, due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the specific defects were not detailed in the summary. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to check for corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit stationary. Inspect the chassis for early surface rust and examine the tyres for sidew cracking, as age often affects rubber more than tread depth does. Testing the suspension for play or perished bushings will also ensure the structural integrity of the Abarth 500 remains sound despite the low odometer.
