2017 Abarth 595C 1.4L Petrol · VE17 XST

The 2026-06-18 test at 32,276 miles concluded with a PASSED result, confirming that the vehicle's mechanical condition is sufficient for safe driving. However, the MOT history reveals a distinct deterioration in the nearside and offside brake disc condition, evidenced by pitting, scoring, and minor corrosion on the inner faces of both discs. While these specific defects appear to be resolved, the pattern of wear on the brake components suggests that the vehicle has experienced a recurring trend of mechanical stress, indicating that the braking system is not currently in a completely sound state and requires active monitoring. The mileage profile indicates that the vehicle has maintained a relatively low number of accumulated miles over its 9-year age, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and usage pattern. However, the gap between the 2023-07-31 and 2022-08-09 tests, where the mileage dropped from 22,376 to 18,707 miles, suggests that the vehicle has accumulated wear on critical components over time without a corresponding increase in mileage, implying that the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or that the wear is primarily on consumables rather than the drivetrain itself. This gap in mileage is likely due to the vehicle's age and the fact that the most recent test was conducted well before the 2022-08-09 record. In summary, the vehicle is roadworthiness for its age and usage but requires attention to the brake disc condition. The buyer should inspect the nearside and offside brake discs for pitting, scoring, and corrosion, as well as the suspension and exhaust emissions, to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards. Given the recurring nature of the brake wear and the low mileage, the vehicle should be inspected in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust components, as the current MOT record indicates a need for proactive maintenance rather than a one-off check.
