2018 Abarth 595C 1.4L Petrol · KX68 UHH

The vehicle holds a current valid MOT certificate following the October 2025 test at 38,429 miles. Every recorded inspection since September 2021 returned a pass with no main faults or advisories noted against the chassis or running gear. This consistent record indicates a stable maintenance trajectory rather than a worsening condition requiring immediate remediation. The absence of recurring failures suggests previous owners addressed issues promptly or avoided driving the car into states of disrepair. At eight years old, this Abarth has covered 38,429 miles, averaging just under 5,000 miles per annum. The distance logged between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests represents approximately 5,575 miles, aligning with typical low-mileage usage patterns. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline that would suggest extended periods without statutory compliance checks. Such low annual mileage often correlates with reduced wear on clutch components and brake pads compared to high-volume commuter vehicles, though standing periods can introduce corrosion risks if storage conditions were poor. Despite the clean digital record, an in-person inspection remains critical for verifying physical condition. The buyer should inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage. Check wheel arches and sills for surface corrosion common on vehicles stored for long intervals. Verify fluid levels and look for signs of oil leaks around the turbocharger and gaskets, which require attention on performance engines that see infrequent use. Brake discs and pads warrant close examination for pitting or uneven wear, given the low usage rate may have allowed moisture accumulation during idle periods.
