2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SW18 AAZ

The Abarth 595 shows a roadworthy status at the latest test on 4 February 2026, with a pass recorded at 43,674 miles and no defects listed. A failure on that same day at identical mileage also carries no defect notes. This points to an administrative anomaly. From April 2023 through February 2026, every examination returned zero advisories or faults, so the maintenance trend remains stable and shows no worsening. Odometer data reveals light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The car logged 26,103 miles on 4 April 2023, then 26,127 miles at the June 2023 retest pass. By 3 June 2024 it reached 32,171 miles, implying around 6,000 miles annually. The February 2026 reading of 43,674 miles averages roughly 5,500 miles per year overall. No rapid accumulation appears, suggesting careful commuting or extended storage periods. Previous keepers kept statutory compliance clean, yet the duplicated February 2026 entries with no stated defects warrant a DVSA check to exclude data error. A buyer must still inspect physical components the MOT did not flag. Check suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, measure brake discs for wear, and test calipers for binding. Underbody corrosion and exhaust emissions should also be assessed for structural integrity. Minor consumables like tyre tread and wiper blades can degrade between tests despite a clear sheet. The documentary record supports a low-risk purchase if the anomalous fail is clarified and a hands-on inspection confirms no hidden mechanical issues.
