2015 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · YR65 KBK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following a pass on January 30, 2026, with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows an inconsistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. The car failed its inspections on January 22 2026 and January 14 2025, only to pass eight days later in both instances. This suggests that mechanical or safety-related faults are only addressed when prompted by an official test failure rather than as part of a proactive maintenance schedule. At 53,238 miles, this 2015 Abarth 595 has averaged approximately 4,840 miles per year. This low annual mileage typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry. There is a significant gap in records between the June 2024 test and the January 2025 test, indicating the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which often contributes to seized brake calipers or flat-spotted. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that caused the January 2025 and 2026 failures, as the record does not specify the exact defects. Given the low mileage and the history of recent failures, focus on corrosion on the brake lines and suspension bushes which can perish due to age. Inspect the brake discs for signs of uneven wear or binding, as the recurring retests indicate that these systems are frequently on the threshold of requiring immediate attention. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
