2019 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · YV19 UJJ

The 2019 Abarth 595 presents a clean and stable maintenance record, with four consecutive MOT passes and zero defects recorded across all tests. The most recent examination on 30 May 2025 at 21,563 miles returned a completely clear result, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns were identified at that point. The trend is firmly stable rather than worsening or improving, as no recurring faults have emerged to track. However, with today's date being 8 July 2026, the vehicle is now approaching or past its next MOT due date, meaning a fresh assessment would be prudent before purchase to confirm its current condition. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of light use. Between the September 2022 test at 12,326 miles and the June 2023 test at 14,996 miles, the car covered 2,670 miles in just under nine months. The following year saw a slightly higher rate of 3,136 miles between June 2023 and May 2024, then 3,431 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This translates to roughly 3,000 to 3,400 miles annually, confirming the low-mileage profile. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest long periods of disuse or high-speed motorway hammering, though the modest yearly totals do raise the possibility of short-trip driving, which can accelerate exhaust corrosion and moisture-related brake issues. Despite the spotless MOT history, a buyer should inspect several areas in person that low-mileage cars are particularly prone to. Brake discs and pads may show surface corrosion from standing rather than wear, and calipers can bind if the car has sat for extended periods. Tyres should be checked for age-related cracking and date codes, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber perishes. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounting rubbers can deteriorate from age and lack of use rather than mileage. The underbody and structural seams deserve close attention for any corrosion that might not yet have reached an MOT failure threshold but could indicate poor storage conditions. A fresh MOT test would provide the most current snapshot of the vehicle's roadworthiness, given the existing certificate is now overdue.
