ALFA ROMEO SPIDER1999 · 2.0L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on September 17, 2025 at 102,825 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed tests without recorded advisories or defects since a failure in July 2022. The failure in early September 2025 occurred just four miles prior to the pass, suggesting a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 27-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. The data shows a significant stagnation in usage over the last three years, with only 416 miles recorded between May 2023 and August 2024, and just 28 miles between the most recent tests. This pattern indicates the car likely sits for long periods or is used sparingly. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber seals, seized calipers, and corrosion due to lack of airflow. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-mileage classic Alfas are prone to hidden rust when stationary. Check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these may have perished despite the low mileage. Given the long intervals between uses, verify the brake fluid condition for moisture and ensure the brake discs are not pitted or pitted from disuse.
