2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · WM18 EXA

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a history of clean passes across seven recorded tests. The most recent inspection on 14 July 2026 confirmed a pass with no defects, continuing a trend of stability seen since 2021. Aside from a single instance of tyre wear flagged in 2022, the vehicle has consistently met DVSA standards without the recurring failures or chronic advisories often associated with performance-oriented small cars. The recorded mileage of 53,485 miles is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,686 miles per year. This level of usage suggests a balanced duty cycle that avoids the risks associated with prolonged standing or excessive wear from high-mileage commuting. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that while major drivetrain components should still have significant life, consumable items such as brake pads and suspension bushings will be entering a phase of expected wear. The only noted defects in the vehicle history were the nearside and offside front tyres worn on the edges during the April 2022 test. While these were not flagged in subsequent tests, a prospective buyer should inspect the current tread depth and check for uneven wear patterns across the width of the tyres. On the road, any steering pull or vibration at motorway speeds should be noted as it may point to alignment issues or wear in the front suspension linkages. Although the MOT history is relatively clean, the mileage suggests that standard wear-and-tear items should be verified. The buyer should check for any knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or drop links. Additionally, a check for any binding in the brake calipers or judder under heavy braking is advised to ensure the braking system remains efficient and free from distortion.
