Mechanical Assessment
The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition, following a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 30 April 2026 at 113,566 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the car transitioned from recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 to two consecutive clean passes with no recorded defects. This suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing identified faults to ensure the vehicle meets testing standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 35-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,245 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered only 770 miles, while the interval between the 2025 and 2026 tests saw just 827 miles. This low usage rate reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, however, the long periods of standing associated with such low mileage often lead to age-related issues such as perished seals, rubber hose degradation, and brake fluid oxidation. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor sills, as older Alfa Romeo Spiders are prone to corrosion that may not always manifest during a standard MOT inspection. Given the low mileage, check the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or flat spotting resulting from inactivity. While the recent history is clean, the failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that components required attention previously, likely related to consumable items rather than systemic mechanical failure.
