2011 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · RK61 SVT

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on October 2025 at 46,098 miles. While the history shows two instances of failure, the trend indicates that these issues were identified and rectified prior to subsequent inspections. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two successful tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical defects and ensuring the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards. At fifteen years of age, the recorded mileage of 46,098 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with 3,848 miles covered between September 2023 and October 2024, and another 2,989 miles covered in the following year. This low mileage pattern typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber component degradation, brake fluid absorption, and potential caliper corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus inspection on the specific faults that caused the failures in September 2023 and September 2024, as the record does not detail the exact nature of these defects. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to check for flat spots on the tyres and seized brake calipers, which are common in vehicles that are driven infrequently. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity for surface corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from environmental-related rust despite minimal road use.
