2015 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · LS65 FKY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 27 June 2025 at 128,097 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The significant failure in June 2025 at 127,711 miles revealed a multitude of simultaneous mechanical issues including suspension components, brake hardware, and tyres. While these specific faults were addressed to achieve the subsequent pass, the history indicates that the owner only performs repairs once a component fails the MOT test threshold. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. There is a steady progression in usage, with 9,736 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 14,519 miles between 2023 and June 2024. This regular level of use typically puts predictable wear on consumable parts, which aligns with the recurring advisories regarding worn brake discs and suspension ball joints throughout the record. A physical inspection must focus on the recurring structural and mechanical concerns flagged over recent years. The tester consistently noted corrosion on the rear axle and front coil springs during the 2025 failure, which requires a close look to ensure structural integrity has not progressed beyond surface rust. Additionally, the persistent non-excessive oil leak noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a slow leak that should be monitored to prevent it from becoming a major gasket failure. Given the history of worn ball joints and rough wheel bearings, the buyer should verify that the current suspension geometry is free of play or knocks, ensuring the 2025 repairs have been properly rectified.
