AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2017 Abarth has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 12,070 miles.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,662 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2022 onwards (e.g., 2,678 miles in 2023).

Things to check

  • Service brake efficiency below requirements (1.2.2 (a) (i)) was a major failure in Feb 2026, though immediately rectified.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
  • Valid MOT until February 2027, providing significant peace of mind for the next three years.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (4,662 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
  • No major structural failures or recurring dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
