2021 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SV71 JKX

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, having achieved a clean MOT pass on 6 June 2026 at 28,935 miles. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the defects identified in previous years have been addressed, resulting in no recorded faults most recently. This suggests the current owner has been proactive in rectifying advisories and minor failures rather than allowing them to escalate into mechanical failures. At five years old, the recorded mileage of 28,935 represents relatively low usage, approximately 5,800 miles per year. The accumulation is consistent, with a gap of 6,716 miles recorded between October 2024 and October 2025, and another 3,322 miles since the final test. This low-mile profile typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to surface corrosion on brake components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods without regular use. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system and suspension components during a physical evaluation. The 2024 and 2025 tests flagged recurring pitting and scoring on both front brake discs, which often occurs from inactivity or poor-quality pads. Additionally, the 2025 test noted light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. While this passed the most recent test, an inspector should ensure the seal has not progressed to a significant leak that would compromise handling damping. The previous 2024 advisory regarding inner-edge tyre wear also suggests a past alignment issue that should be verified against the current set of tyres for even wear.
