2015 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SC58 VES

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 June 2026 at 60,455 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of mechanical concern in 2024. While the latest test identified a non-functional nearside front day time running light, the absence of mechanical defects in the 2025 test suggests that the owner addressed the more significant issues flagged in the previous year. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,455 miles represents a low usage profile of approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between April 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered nearly 4,000 miles in just two months, followed by a more consistent interval of 12,000 miles leading up to the 2026 test. This low mileage often correlates with less wear on drivetrain components but can also lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits for long periods without use. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as recurring corrosion on the nearside and offside rear brake pipes was noted between 2023 and 2024. Although these were rectified after the failure in April 2024, the presence of grease on the pipes suggests a previous leak or an attempt to mask surface rust. Furthermore, the offside rear wheel bearing failure for excessive play in 2024 at 44,418 miles necessitates a thorough check of all suspension components, including bushes and dampers, to ensure no further wear has developed despite the low-mileage operation.
