2022 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · LC22 RRX

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 19 May 2026 at 21,848 miles. This recent result with no defects indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year. The data suggests that the mechanical issues identified in the prior inspection were addressed, leaving the car to meet all current safety and emission standards. The mileage profile is consistently low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,462 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test at 16,782 miles and the May 2026 test, the car covered 5,066 miles. This low annual usage suggests light commuting, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though it can occasionally lead to surface corrosion on brake components or seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the May 2025 test flagged thin rear brake pads and worn discs across all four wheels. While the 2026 test showed no defects, it is essential to verify that these components were actually replaced with quality parts rather than merely adjusted. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for pitting on the brake discs or seized calipers, which often occur when cars are not used frequently.
