2019 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · HT19 JZX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026, but only after an initial failure on the same day. This indicates that immediate repairs were necessary to bring the car up to a legal safety standard. There is a recurring and concerning pattern regarding the braking system and suspension. Front brake discs have been flagged as worn or in poor condition since May 2025, and the front upper suspension mounts have shown wear for over a year. The most recent failure was caused by severely worn rear discs and pads, along with a tyre that had fallen below the legal tread limit. The overall condition trend is worsening. The car had a clean history through early 2024, but the last two years show a steady increase in mechanical defects. Because the front disc issues and suspension play were noted in 2025 but still appear as advisories in 2026, it suggests a reactive rather than preventative approach to maintenance. The mileage of 46,032 is typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. However, the rapid onset of brake and suspension wear over the last 18,000 miles may imply the car has been driven more aggressively than a standard commuter.
