Buying Tips for 2019 Alpine A110 (Modern)

  • ✓Verify the Power Electronic Box (PEB) has been replaced or updated, as early unit failures can immobilise the car.
  • ✓Check the air conditioning condenser; its low position makes it highly vulnerable to stone damage on UK roads.
  • ✓Test the infotainment system extensively, as early versions are prone to freezing and Apple CarPlay dropouts.
  • ✓Inspect the aluminium bodywork for signs of "paint bubbling" or galvanic corrosion, particularly near panel joins.
  • ✓Listen for excessive brake squeal; while common for the Brembo setup, it can be annoying in daily traffic.
  • ✓Ensure the dual-clutch transmission shifts smoothly and without hesitation, particularly when cold.
