1991 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER2.0L Petrol

The April 2026 MOT at 137,910 miles resulted in a pass, confirming current roadworthiness, but the overall maintenance trend remains stable with recurring advisories on oil leaks, structural deformation and brake binding that have persisted across multiple years. Mileage has risen from 134,030 miles in April 2019 to 137,910 miles in April 2026, averaging roughly 3,940 miles per year; however, the record shows irregular usage, with a notable increase of 1,776 miles between the 2024 and 2026 tests and relatively low annual increments in earlier years, indicating periods of storage followed by active use. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension and steering components, focusing on the near‑side front steering lock, track‑rod end split pin and documented structural deformation at the jacking points, as these suggest potential chassis and bush wear. The repeated binding of the near‑side and off‑side front service brakes (1.2.1 (f)) warrants a detailed examination of brake discs, pads, calipers and associated hardware for scoring or corrosion. Ongoing oil and power‑steering leaks, together with rusted and holed front jacking points, indicate corrosion on chassis rails and suspension mounting points that must be checked for structural integrity. The persistent exhaust leak (6.1.2 (a)) and related emission advisories require verification of the exhaust pipe, seals and brackets. In summary, while the latest test confirms roadworthiness, the cumulative evidence of recurring mechanical and structural advisories means the vehicle should be assessed in person for suspension integrity, brake condition, chassis corrosion and exhaust integrity before purchase.
