2019 Abarth 124 Spider Multiair Auto 1.4L Petrol · HT19 JZU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, culminating in a completely clean MOT pass in July 2025 at 23,134 miles. That examination occurred eleven months ago, placing the car near its next annual test window. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories during that visit, confirming that all previously noted wear items were properly addressed. Maintenance trends across the five recorded tests show consistent compliance with DVSA standards. The only advisory appeared in July 2024 when all four tyres showed slight cracking and perishing. That isolated rubber degradation was resolved before the subsequent test, leaving the recent history free of recurring mechanical or structural faults. Mileage accumulation remains notably low for a 2019 registration, averaging roughly 3,300 miles annually. The odometer readings show gradual increases, moving from 11,154 miles in April 2022 to 13,141 miles in March 2023, then just 44 miles further by August 2023. This double submission within a five-month window suggests an early voluntary test or an administrative recheck rather than significant road use. The car then covered approximately 6,900 miles over the following twelve months before adding another 3,088 miles by July 2025. Such sparse usage typically points to weekend driving or extended stationary periods, which directly impacts how components age regardless of odometer readings. A prospective buyer should direct attention to components that deteriorate through inactivity rather than high mileage. The July 2024 advisory for perishing tyres across all four corners strongly indicates prolonged standing or exposure to the elements without regular rotation. Although the tyres were replaced before the 2025 test, you must verify the current set for correct date codes, even tread wear, and adequate pressure retention. Low annual mileage also encourages surface corrosion on brake discs and potential caliper slide pin stiffness, so inspect the braking system for pitting or binding. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related cracking, and examine the convertible roof seals and drainage channels for moisture ingress or mechanism stiffness. Fluid degradation and dried gaskets often accompany light use, making a thorough underbody and engine bay inspection essential before purchase.
