2002 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER2.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent MOT on 30 May 2024 at 61,238 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 24 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,552 miles per year. The data shows very little usage over the last five years, with only 341 miles added between the September 2021 test at 60,897 miles and the May 2024 test at 61,238 miles. Such low activity indicates the car has likely spent long periods stationary, which often introduces risks unrelated to wear and tear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade during periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures, the lack of mileage suggests the tyres and brake discs may suffer from flat-spotting or surface oxidation. Check for perished rubber seals and the condition of the fluids, as long-term standing can lead to moisture ingress or oil sludge. The failure on 31 August 2021 was resolved within five days, and the subsequent absence of advisories is positive. However, the lack of recorded defects over several years on an Alfa Romeo of this vintage is unusual. Verify that the chassis and suspension mounting points are free from hidden rust, as the MOT test is a snapshot of safety rather than a comprehensive mechanical health check.
