2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SH15 ABH

The Abarth 595 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 15,842 miles, where the vehicle passed after an initial failure on the same date and mileage with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual test from 9 December 2022 through 7 December 2023 and 28 November 2024 recording passes and no advisories. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the DVLA MOT data. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 4,760 miles at the 2022 test, rising to 8,131 by December 2023, then 11,887 by November 2024, and 15,842 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 1,980 miles per year. The sparse, clean record with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes suggests light use, though prolonged standing periods common at this mileage can degrade seals, brake calipers, and tyre sidewalls without triggering test advisories. The same-day fail and pass on 8 December 2025 with no defects listed points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still confirm the V5C and test certificate details. Given the low mileage and absence of recorded corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, the structure and drivetrain likely remain sound. In person, the buyer should inspect the brake discs for surface rust from inactivity, check suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify tyre condition including sidewall cracking. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep, but low-use Abarths often hide intermittent electrical or binding caliper issues that a static test will not expose.
