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.
