2020 Abarth 595 Pista 70th Anniversary

CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2020 Abarth 595 Pista 70th Anniversary. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2020 Abarth 595 Pista 70th Anniversary has a first-time pass rate of 86.3%, which is a solid 6.3 percentage points above the UK average, suggesting these cars are generally well-maintained by their owners. However, nearly one in five (18.6%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, so any used example warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on braking and suspension components.

These cars are running relatively light mileage for their age at a median of 23,324 miles, which typically correlates with better condition, though the average of 0.52 failures per vehicle and 3.2 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear is still common. When shopping for one, request the full MOT history and pay particular attention to suspension and lighting advisories, which are typical for performance-focused hatchbacks of this spec.

What to check before buying a 2020 Abarth 595 Pista 70th Anniversary

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.
