2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SW18 ACV

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the clean MOT pass on 24 March 2026 at 40,952 miles. While the car failed the test exactly one day prior at the same mileage, the immediate pass without recorded defects suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly. The history shows no recurring major mechanical failures over the last three years, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met DVSA safety and emissions standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,119 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 20,903 miles and the March 2025 test at 31,040 miles, the car covered 10,137 miles, representing a period of more regular use compared to the overall average. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid acidity if the vehicle is not driven frequently. Since the MOT record is clear of advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-use issues. Check the tyres for signs of flat spotting or sidew cracking from long periods of stationary storage and inspect the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage cars often suffer surface rust on the rotors. Examine the suspension bushes and bushings for cracking to ensure that the age of the vehicle has not caused the material to perish despite the low mileage.
