1998 Alfa Romeo GTV 3.0L Petrol · S920 JGX

The roadworthiness status of this 1998 Alfa Romeo GTV is currently sound, supported by a clean pass recorded on the eighteenth of March twenty twenty six at seventy thousand seven hundred and forty two miles. The maintenance trend shows recent stabilization following a failure on the twenty fifth of March twenty twenty four where the vehicle was refused a certificate due to inoperative offside rear parking brake function, insufficient overall parking brake efficiency, and incorrectly aimed headlamps on both the nearside and offside front units. These defects were rectified swiftly, leading to an immediate pass the following day and subsequent clean passes in April twenty twenty five and March twenty twenty six. The odometer reads seventy thousand seven hundred and forty two miles across a twenty eight year lifespan, averaging roughly two thousand five hundred and twenty six miles annually. This low mileage accumulation indicates sporadic or recreational usage rather than daily commuting. The MOT history before twenty twenty three is absent from the provided data, leaving the earlier operational history completely unknown. The limited visible timeline shows modest annual usage, with mileage creeping up from the twenty twenty three tests through to the latest inspection in early twenty twenty six without large gaps or excessive spikes in distance covered between tests. A physical inspection must prioritize the rear braking system, specifically the parking brake mechanism and calipers, given the major failure recorded for parking brake ineffectiveness in twenty twenty four. The front headlamp alignment brackets and adjusters require scrutiny to ensure the previous aim issues remain properly resolved and that corrosion has not affected the mounting points. Buyers should thoroughly check the structural integrity of the chassis, sills, and suspension components underneath, as low usage and long periods of standing often accelerate hidden corrosion on Italian classics of this vintage.
