2016 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · S500 ABT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-01 at 93,951 miles confirms it remains roadworthy without any defects recorded. This pattern of consecutive passes—spanning five annual tests from 2021 to 2025—indicates a stable maintenance history with no recurring advisories or failures. The absence of major faults suggests the vehicle has been consistently serviced according to manufacturer standards, though the lack of advisory notes means some wear items (such as brake pads or suspension bushes) may have been replaced privately without official record. The most recent test’s proximity to today’s date (less than 10 months old) ensures compliance with current UK roadworthiness standards, though a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear. The mileage progression of approximately 9,395 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The recorded mileage increments—ranging from 8,835 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests to 9,634 miles between 2023 and 2024—demonstrate consistent annual use without extended periods of neglect. There are no gaps exceeding a year between tests, which reduces the risk of deferred maintenance. However, the steady accumulation suggests higher-than-average wear on consumable components like tyres, brake discs, and suspension elements, all of which should be inspected for remaining lifespan. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer’s primary focus should be on the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to fatigue over 90,000 miles. The brakes, though never failed, may require assessment for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was driven aggressively. Structural integrity should also be checked for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as high-mileage supercharged models like this are susceptible to rust-induced weakening. Finally, the exhaust system—often overlooked in high-performance cars—should be inspected for leaks or cracked components, as emissions systems can degrade silently over time.
