1964 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER2.6L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2021-10-25 at 98,238 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past decade. However, the absence of subsequent tests since 2021 raises concerns about unmonitored deterioration, particularly for a 62-year-old vehicle. No recurring mechanical issues were flagged in the history, suggesting the owner prioritized basic compliance rather than proactive servicing. The lack of recent data means the current roadworthiness status cannot be definitively confirmed without an up-to-date inspection. The mileage progression shows minimal accumulation, with 97,503 miles in 2012, 97,669 miles in 2014, and 98,238 miles in 2021. This slow increase aligns with the vehicle’s low annual average of 1,584 miles, reflecting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Notably, the 2014 test recorded a failure at the same mileage as a subsequent pass, which may indicate administrative error or a non-critical issue resolved quickly. The sparse MOT history lacks detail on consumables like tyres or fluids, limiting insight into routine maintenance practices. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the vehicle’s structural integrity, as age and low mileage may lead to corrosion in underbody components or rust in the chassis. Suspension systems, including bushes and coil springs, could exhibit stiffness or wear from inactivity. Brake components, particularly calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, while the exhaust system requires scrutiny for leaks or deterioration. Given the absence of recent MOT data, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
