2018 Abarth 124 Spider Multiair 1.4L Petrol · RX68 FPZ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously perfect record. After three years of clean MOT results between 2022 and 2024, the April 2026 test at 28,696 miles flagged multiple advisories regarding tyre condition. The tester noted rear tyres worn close to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, alongside front tyres showing signs of cracking or perishing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per annum. The progression between the 2022 test at 14,980 miles and the 2026 test at 28,696 miles shows a steady, incremental accumulation of mileage rather than long periods of abandonment. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts degrading due to age, which is evident in the latest tyre defects. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the four tyres, as the April 2026 advisories suggest the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life despite the low mileage. The uneven wear on the rear edges specifically warrants a check for wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the car has sat for longer intervals between tests, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which often affect low-mileage vehicles.
