2016 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · NL16 JDZ

The 2016 Abarth 595 presents a historically stable maintenance trend, passing every recorded MOT without defects until early 2022. A failed test on 22 December 2020 at 28,727 miles shows no recorded defects, indicating an abandoned test or a rectified dangerous fault prior to the pass two days later. The most recent test on 3 February 2022 at 34,459 miles yielded a clean pass with zero advisories. The current roadworthiness status remains questionable given the extended period since that last inspection. Over four years have elapsed without a fresh MOT certificate, meaning the vehicle's present mechanical condition is entirely unverified. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 3,446 miles annually. Between the April 2019 test at 20,872 miles and the December 2020 test at 28,732 miles, the car covered approximately 7,860 miles in under two years. Following the February 2022 pass at 34,459 miles, the recorded mileage has remained completely static. This stagnation suggests the vehicle has either been standing stationary for over four years or the odometer reading provided reflects the last verified state with no subsequent updates. A buyer must approach this vehicle with caution due to the prolonged period of inactivity implied by the static mileage. Tyres showing legal tread depth may suffer from sidewall perishing and flat-spotting from standing stationary. Brake discs will likely exhibit surface corrosion, and calipers risk seizing without regular exercise. Suspension bushes and rubber components can perish through age rather than mileage, requiring close inspection for cracking or deterioration. Fluid degradation presents another critical concern. Engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid absorb moisture over time, compromising their protective and hydraulic properties. A thorough inspection of the exhaust system for internal corrosion and the underbody for structural rust is essential, as low-mileage driving combined with long-term standing accelerates moisture accumulation in the chassis and exhaust.
