2018 Abarth 124 Spider Multiair 1.4L Petrol · SB18 TPY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on June 2025 at 14,280 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a significant failure in mid-2024. Since that failure, the car has passed subsequent tests without recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical issues identified were addressed and the vehicle is currently meeting operational standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,785 miles per year. Data from the 2022 test at 8,724 miles through the 2025 test at 14,280 miles confirms consistent low-usage patterns. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and suspension, it often increases the risk of surface corrosion on braking components and the degradation of rubber seals if the car sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system due to recurring faults in this area. The 2022 test noted pitted and scored rear inner brake discs, which escalated into a 2024 failure where both rear discs were seriously weakened and the parking brake efficiency fell below requirements. Although these were repaired, the buyer should verify there is no remaining uneven wear on the current discs and ensure the hand brake mechanism operates firmly without seizing. Given the low annual mileage, checking for flat spotting on the tyres and corrosion on the exhaust system is also advisable.
