2004 ALPINA Z43.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents in a stable roadworthiness condition, following a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 58,146 miles. The maintenance trend appears positive as the only recorded failure occurred in early 2024 and was immediately rectified, with subsequent tests showing no further defects or advisories. This suggests that the mechanical systems are being maintained to a high standard and that the vehicle is currently operating within acceptable safety parameters. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,643 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of low usage, such as the 1,804 miles driven between March 2024 and February 2025, and the 4,211 miles covered between February 2025 and April 2026. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests often increase the risk of rubber perish, fluid degradation, and brake-related corrosion. A buyer should focus specifically on the nearside front braking system, given the binding caliper failure that occurred during the March 2024 test at 52,131 miles. Although the car passed subsequent tests, low-use vehicles are prone to caliper pistons seizing or brake discs beginning to develop surface pitting. Physical inspection of the suspension bushes and rubber components is also essential, as these parts often degrade due to age and cracking regardless of the low mileage recorded on the odometer.
