Before you view it
The Abarth 695's most common MOT issues, turned into things to ask about or look for.
Ask for the date and mileage of the last disc replacement; visually check for a deep wear lip and rust pitting on each disc.
Check tread depth across the full width on all four; uneven wear suggests alignment or suspension issues.
Listen for knocks over speed bumps and ask about recent control-arm or anti-roll-bar work.
Bounce-test each corner; check for oily streaks down the strut bodies.
