1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0L Petrol · L26 JAE

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection conducted on 25 March 2026. At 124,515 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This clean sheet suggests that the vehicle was prepared to a high standard prior to its last annual test. The recorded mileage of 124,515 miles over a 29-year period reflects an average of approximately 4,294 miles per year. This low annual usage indicates the car has likely been stored or used sparingly for leisure, which typically reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain and engine components. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related internal issues that a standard MOT test does not fully capture. Given the lack of historical advisories, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection focusing on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as Alfa Romeo models from this era are prone to hidden corrosion. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and coil spring mounting points for signs of cracking or despite despite the mileage. You should also check the braking system for seized calipers or perished hydraulic lines and verify that the tyres are not perished from age during long periods of standing.
