Abarth 595c (2019)
2019 Abarth 595c
CarHunch analysed 432 real MOT records for the 2019 Abarth 595c. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Abarth 595C shows solid reliability, with an 86.8% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average of 80%, and a dangerous defect rate of 17.4% that sits within acceptable bounds for a sporty hatchback. These cars are running at sensible mileage for their age—averaging just over 21,000 miles—which suggests owners are treating them as weekend warriors rather than daily commuters.
The low failure rate of 0.5 per vehicle is genuinely impressive, though the advisory count of 3.3 per car hints at minor wear items cropping up. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the cooling system and suspension components, as these tend to be the first things to show their age on performance-focused Fiats.
What to check before buying a 2019 Abarth 595c
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.
