2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · MD68 ESV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 42,181 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures or structural degradation often seen in performance-oriented Abarth models. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,273 miles per year. Between January 2022 at 24,558 miles and March 2026 at 42,181 miles, the car covered 17,623 miles, suggesting light and consistent use. The intervals between tests are regular, which implies the owner followed a predictable schedule rather than long periods of neglect. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain components and braking system, though it increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading if the car sat stationary frequently. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage rather than heavy wear. A buyer should check for perished rubber on suspension bushes and tyres, as these can crack over time regardless of distance driven. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to rust buildup on the rotors. The absence of structural rust advisories suggests the chassis remains sound, but a visual check of the underbody will confirm no hidden corrosion has developed between test intervals.
