2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SW18 ACY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The test on 16 September 2025 at 91,683 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the most recent owner has successfully addressed previous mechanical concerns. While the history shows instances of immediate failure, the current trend suggests the vehicle is being maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,460 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 67,230 miles and the October 2024 test at 78,453 miles, the car covered 11,223 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often correlates with the wear seen on rubber components and braking systems. The lack of long gaps between tests indicates the vehicle has been in active service throughout its recorded period. The failures recorded in October 2023 and October 2024 indicate specific issues that required immediate rectification before the vehicle could pass. Since the record does not detail the specific mechanical causes for these failures, a physical inspection must focus on the suspension bushings and brake components. A buyer should check for uneven tyre wear and inspect the rear brake discs to ensure there is no signs of recurring corrosion or binding calipers. Given the mileage exceeding 90,000 miles, verifying the condition of the coil springs and the integrity of the exhaust system is also essential to ensure no structural degradation is developing.
