2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · SW18 AEY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-16 at 48,456 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. However, the preceding test on 2025-10-15 at the same mileage failed despite no defects being noted, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor technical issue unresolved. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, confirming a generally reliable maintenance record. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the history implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the recent failure without explanation warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,057 miles annually. A significant jump from 41,506 miles (2024-10-17) to 48,456 miles (2025-10-16) reflects a 6,950-mile increase in 12 months, which is within normal parameters but could indicate increased usage. No gaps in testing are evident, and the lack of advisories or failures in prior years suggests consistent upkeep. The data is clean, with no signs of neglect or excessive wear on consumables. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the unexplained failure in 2025-10-15 highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond recorded data.
