Abarth 124 Spider Multiair (2016)
2016 Abarth 124 Spider Multiair
CarHunch analysed 159 real MOT records for the 2016 Abarth 124 Spider Multiair. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Abarth 124 Spider MultiAir passes its MOT on the first attempt 88.5% of the time, comfortably beating the UK average of 80%, which suggests solid underlying reliability for this age and mileage bracket. Only 11.9% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety issues are not a widespread concern for potential buyers.
At a median of just 22,033 miles for an eight-year-old car, these Spiders have been driven gently, which partly explains the strong pass rate—don't expect the same results if you're buying a higher-mileage example. The average vehicle racks up 4.3 advisories and 0.6 failures per test, indicating minor wear items rather than serious mechanical problems; have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the cooling system and suspension, where Italian sports cars often show their age first.
What to check before buying a 2016 Abarth 124 Spider Multiair
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
