Used Abarth 595 for sale in Europe

About the Abarth 595

The Abarth 595 is a performance version of the Fiat 500 city car, built by Abarth, Fiat's in-house tuning brand. It uses a turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol engine, firmer suspension and stronger brakes than a standard 500. It is small, loud by design and aimed at drivers who want a compact, lively hatchback.

Bodies are a three-door hatchback and a folding-roof cabriolet, sold as the 595C. Power outputs have varied over the years, and trim names such as Turismo, Competizione and Pista have marked different equipment levels. Most cars have a manual gearbox. An automated manual, often called MTA, was offered on some versions. Rear space and boot size are limited.

Some listings under this model are tagged electric. These are most likely the Abarth 500e, a separate car launched in 2023 with a 42 kWh battery. It is not a 595. Check the exact model name and engine type in each advert before comparing prices or specifications.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings rise with newer model years, though not in a straight line. Across all listings the median is €16,000. Cars from 2016 show a median of €12,900, while 2022 cars show €18,500. The few 2024 cars sit at €26,800. Within a single year the spread is wide, because trim level, power output, mileage and condition differ. Older years also have fewer listings, so their figures move more. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Abarth 595

Ask for the full service history and see the car cold before it is driven. Then take a test drive that includes hard acceleration, braking and some slow urban driving.

• Turbocharger and engine health · 1.4 turbo petrol

  Listen for whistling or rattling from the turbo and look for smoke on acceleration. Check the oil level and that oil changes were done on time. Hard use and long gaps between services can shorten turbo life.

• Signs of remaps and tuning · 1.4 turbo petrol

  Many cars have been tuned or fitted with aftermarket exhausts and air filters. Ask what was changed, who did the work and whether invoices exist. Unrecorded modifications can make the engine harder to assess.

• Clutch and gearbox feel · Manual gearbox

  Check for a high biting point, slipping under load and notchy shifts. Spirited driving wears the clutch faster in a small turbocharged car, so ask whether it has ever been replaced.

• Automated gearbox behaviour · MTA automated manual

  On cars with the automated manual, check for jerky shifts, warning lights and hesitation when pulling away. Ask whether the clutch actuator or software has been serviced, and request records where available.

• Brakes, tyres and suspension

  Look at brake discs, pads and tyre wear for even condition. Listen for knocks over bumps, which can point to worn suspension parts. Uneven tyre wear may indicate alignment problems or hard driving.

• Bodywork and interior wear

  Check wheel arches, sills and the underbody for stone chips and corrosion. On cabriolets, test the roof mechanism and look for leaks. Inspect seat bolsters, the steering wheel and pedals for wear that does not match the mileage.

• Electronics and warning lights

  Test the infotainment, climate control, windows and all dashboard lights. Confirm that no warning lights stay on after start-up. A diagnostic scan before purchase can reveal stored faults.
