2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · FD18 EZK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 28 March 2026 at 36,498 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that all mechanical and safety components currently meet the MOT standard. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been well-maintained without significant structural or mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 22,016 miles and March 2026 at 36,498 miles, the car covered 14,482 miles, showing consistent low-intensity usage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, long intervals can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The record shows no erratic spikes in mileage, implying a predictable pattern of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. The only recorded fault occurred in May 2023 at 25,772 miles involving a defective offside windscreen wiper blade, which is a minor consumable item. Because the history lacks any advisories for brake thinning, suspension play, or structural corrosion, the buyer should manually verify the brake discs for surface rust from lack of use. Checking the rubber seals and bushings for cracking is also essential, as age often degrades materials faster than mileage on low-use performance vehicles.
