1992 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0L Petrol · J162 KRH

The Alfa Romeo Spider presents a current roadworthy status following a clean pass on 18 November 2025 at 187,949 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing broadly stable in the recent record. The vehicle cleared its final test without advisories or defects, yet the path to that pass required three prior attempts within a thirteen-month window, indicating intermittent compliance rather than consistent mechanical soundness. Recorded mileage stands at 187,949 against a 34-year lifespan, equating to circa 5,528 miles per year and confirming light use for the age. The odometer moved only 608 miles between the June 2024 pass at 187,341 and the November 2025 pass, showing the car sat largely idle or covered short local journeys. Such low accumulation risks perished rubber components and seized mechanisms despite minimal drivetrain wear. The MOT history shows four failures dated 31 May 2024, 16 October 2025, 25 October 2025 and a final pass on 18 November 2025, but the DVSA entries list no defects or advisories against any of those tests. A failure with no recorded defect typically points to administrative issues, expired documentation, or unrecorded minor presentation faults rather than structural or brake defects. The absence of corrosion, suspension bush, or brake disc advisories across the record is favourable but not a substitute for physical inspection. A buyer should still commission an in-person check of structural integrity beneath the sills and chassis rails given the marque's known rot propensity, and verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking system are free of binding calipers or worn discs. Confirm the exhaust emissions and tyre condition match the clean record, as a 1992 Italian roadster with long stationary periods may hide degraded hoses or flat-spotted tyres not captured by the tester.
