2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SW18 AAY

The 2018 Abarth 595 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-23 at 45,000 miles. Subsequent tests from 2025-02-11 (44,125 miles) and 2022-04-29 (44,029 miles) also showed no issues, confirming consistent compliance. The absence of advisories or failures across four consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage profile shows a low annual average of 5,625 miles over eight years, which is below typical usage for this age. A significant jump from 34,816 miles in 2021 to 44,029 miles in 2022 indicates a sudden increase in usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the lack of defects in subsequent tests implies these components were likely inspected or replaced during the period. The sparse MOT history, with tests spaced up to three years apart, limits insight into intermediate maintenance practices. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for dryness or wear, as low mileage can lead to component stiffness. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion should also be inspected, as prolonged inactivity may affect these areas. While the MOT records show no faults, the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of critical systems and identify any hidden issues not flagged in the tests.
