2012 Abarth 500 1.4L Petrol · HR52 FUN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 29 May 2025 with 68,034 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passes across the last three successful inspections. While the record shows initial failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects suggest that minor issues were rectified promptly rather than indicating deep-seated mechanical or structural failure. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,034 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,860 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 10,000 miles driven between June 2023 and May 2024, and another 13,786 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals which can dry out or perish during periods of lower use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by low-mileage aging, such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake lines. Given the MOT history shows no structural rust or recurring advisories, the chassis integrity appears sound, but a manual check for seized brake calipers or corrosion on the discs is wise. Since the vehicle has a clean record on the last two passes, the primary concern remains the proactive maintenance of basic service items rather than catastrophic mechanical failure.
