2016 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · RJ66 ADX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward reactive component replacement. The most recent test in November 2025 at 21,227 miles identified an advisory for thin rear outer brake pads. This follows a failure in November 2024 due to incorrect colour on both rear indicators. While these issues are relatively minor, the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections, suggesting a stable structural integrity and no major underlying mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. Between 2019 and 2022, the car covered only 8,363 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long storage periods. The increase of 7,933 miles between November 2022 and November 2025 shows a more consistent usage pattern. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can lead to flat-spotted tyres or perished rubber components if the vehicle sat stationary for extended months. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The 2023 test at 15,577 miles flagged both front inner tyres as worn to the legal limit, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension arm bushes. Given the recent 2025 advisory regarding thin rear pads, a thorough check of the brake discs and caliper condition is necessary to ensure no binding exists. Because of the low mileage, also check for corrosion on the exhaust system and seized brake seals, which frequently occur on vehicles that are not driven regularly.
