This 2016 Abarth has 9 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 12,224 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a 2024 MOT gap, raises significant ownership and maintenance concerns.
The vehicle shows very low usage averaging 2,770 miles/year, with a significant 2024 MOT gap and a 1,861-mile increase between Jan 2025 and Jan 2026, suggesting potential unreported mileage or extended periods of inactivity.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Dec 2019, Dec 2020, Dec 2021) indicate chronic wear.
- Recurring brake pad and disc advisories across 6 tests (Dec 2019, Dec 2020, Dec 2021) suggest ongoing maintenance needs.
- 2024 MOT gap with only 23,421 miles recorded between Nov 2023 and Jan 2025 is highly unusual.
- Very low mileage (27,761 miles in 10 years) for a 2016 petrol car is a significant red flag.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-01-05, providing immediate peace of mind.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
- Consistent retest passes after failures, indicating issues were addressed.
