2020 Abarth 595 Pista 70TH Anniversary 1.4L Petrol · YA69 GOU

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding braking components and suspension integrity. While the car passed its most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 at 36,400 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that indicate accelerating wear. The record shows a progression from minor brake disc scoring in 2023 and 2024 to more comprehensive issues in the latest test, including thin pads on both rear brakes and a worn, pitted offside front brake disc. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The car has covered approximately 6,000 miles per year, moving from 11,537 miles in June 2022 to 36,400 miles by October 2025. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity. The data is sufficiently continuous to track mechanical degradation, particularly concerning the consumables. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of pitted and scored brake discs, dating back to May 2023 at 17,943 miles, which has persisted through the 28,095-mile test in 2024 and the 36,400-mile test in 2025. The recent advisories for thin rear pads and worn inner tyres suggest that the vehicle is due for a significant service of consumables. The front shock absorbers also require close scrutiny. The tester noted light oil misting on the nearside front shock in May 2023, a condition that remained present at 28,095 miles in 2024 and was specifically flagged again in the October 2025 test. This indicates a persistent, slow leak that may eventually lead to total component failure. Additionally, the recurring issues with inner tyre wear and Macpherson strut bushes suggest the buyer should check for any underlying suspension geometry or alignment problems.
