Our Verdict
This Alpine A110 Premiere Edition Auto shows significant suspension and tyre issues that raise concerns. While its low mileage and recent MOT pass are positives, the repeated coil spring failures and worn tyres suggest potential hidden repair costs.
Prioritise a mechanical inspection of the front and rear suspension systems, focusing on coil springs and shock absorbers. Check for rust or corrosion around suspension components, which may indicate hidden damage. Verify service history for tyre replacements and suspension repairs. Negotiate the price to account for potential suspension repairs, as coil spring replacements can be costly. Be cautious of any discrepancies between the MOT records and the vehicle's actual condition.
As a petrol-powered 1.8L engine, the Alpine A110 is likely to have moderate fuel economy (around 35-40 mpg). Tax would be £155 annually (2026 rates for 120-150g/km CO2). Insurance group is unknown but likely mid-to-high for a performance model. Suspension repairs and tyre replacements could add £500-£1,000+ in maintenance costs. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,600.
Inspect the front and rear coil springs for cracks or fractures, especially near the mounting points. Check tyres for uneven wear patterns that may indicate suspension issues. Examine shock absorbers for leaks or damage. Look for rust on underbody components, which could signal corrosion-related suspension failures. Verify that all suspension parts have been replaced following MOT failures.
The 2018 Alpine A110 Premiere Edition Auto has a mixed MOT history with multiple suspension and tyre failures. While it has a recent MOT pass at 24,441 miles, three MOT failures between 2023-2025 reveal recurring coil spring fractures and excessive tyre wear. Its 24,441 miles is below average for an 8-year-old vehicle, but the model lacks aggregate reliability data.
No aggregate reliability data available for this specific model variant, but suspension component failures noted in this vehicle's history suggest potential design or maintenance vulnerabilities.
