Buying Tips for the 2023 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.
