2019 Abarth 595C 1.4L Petrol · HT19 JZV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 43,971 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding worn front tyres and a worn nearside front MacPherson strut bush. This indicates that while the car is legal for the road, components are reaching the end of their functional life, suggesting the previous owner deferred repairs until an MOT failure occurred. At 43,971 miles over seven years, the Abarth averages approximately 6,280 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a performance hatchback. The data shows a consistent interval between tests, with roughly 6,500 miles driven between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another 6,850 miles between March 2025 and April 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, though the mechanical wear on consumables aligns with this regular driving pattern. A buyer must focus specifically on the braking system and front geometry due to recurring issues. The vehicle failed the test in March 2024 at 30,606 miles for thin rear pads and failed again in March 2025 at 37,120 miles with thin pads on both axles and an excessively fluctuating offside front service brake. The fluctuation in the front brake often indicates warped discs, which requires a thorough physical inspection. Furthermore, the noted wear on the nearside front strut bush in the 2026 test, combined with previous edge wear on the front tyres, suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that need immediate attention to prevent premature tyre degradation.
