2018 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · WN18 SNV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging component wear. While the car passed its previous four tests without any defects, the most recent inspection on 23 June 2025 at 21,356 miles identified multiple advis across the entire braking system. The tester flagged thin front and rear brake pads alongside pitted and scored discs, indicating that the braking components have finally reached their service limit despite the low mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,670 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage, moving from 10,487 miles in July 2021 to 21,356 miles in June 2025. This low usage suggests the car has likely sat for long periods, which often leads to the specific degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces like brake rotors, which aligns with the scored condition recorded in the latest MOT test. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system to confirm if the pitting and scoring noted in 2025 have been addressed with replacement parts. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for perishation in tyres and degraded brake fluid, as these elements age through time rather than distance driven. The structural integrity of the chassis remains unproised based on the history, but the transition from clean reports to brake wear alerts suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase requiring more proactive maintenance to prevent mechanical failures.
