2017 Abarth 595 1.4L Petrol · YY17 VBC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on October 4, 2025 at 72,158 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has successfully rectified issues that led to previous failures. While the record shows failures in September 2025 and 2024, the lack of recorded defects on subsequent passes suggests that any identified faults were likely minor items addressed promptly rather than deep-seated mechanical failures or structural degradation. At 72,158 miles over nine years, the Abarth has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a performance-oriented hatchback. The data shows a recent cluster of activity between May 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 7,300 miles in seventeen months. This consistent interval of testing suggests the owner is proactive regarding legal compliance, despite the occasional failures noted during those periods. The gap between the July 2024 test and the September 2025 test indicates standard usage pattern without unexplained mileage accumulation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to fail between MOT tests at this mileage, specifically the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the car's nature, checking the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and verifying the condition of the pads is essential. Since the record does not list recurring structural corrosion or binding calipers, a close look at the underbody for mounting point integrity remains necessary to ensure the clean MOT history is supported by a lack of hidden rust.
