1999 Alpina B33.3 3.3L Petrol · V333 ALP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 12 June 2026 at 175,740 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in June 2025, although that test was preceded by a failure on the same day due to a non-functional windscreen washer. The absence of advisories in the last three years suggests the car is being maintained to a high standard in its later life. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,509 miles per year. There is a significant data gap in the records between December 2009, when the car had 156,984 miles, and April 2024, when it reached 174,611 miles. This indicates a period of very low usage or missing records over nearly fifteen years, during which the car covered only 17,627 miles. Recent usage has remained low, with only 398 miles added between June 2025 and June 2026. A buyer should focus on the chassis and suspension during a physical inspection. While recent tests are clean, the 2008 record flagged a torn dust boot on the nearside front anti-roll bar link, and the 2007 test failed on parking brake efficiency. Given the age of the vehicle and the long periods of potential inactivity, checking for perished rubber bushings, seized brake calipers, and structural corrosion is essential. The history shows a pattern of neglecting consumables in the earlier years. The December 2009 test flagged two rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the December 2007 test failed on two front tyres and the handbrake. These entries suggest a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance in the past. However, the current lack of defects indicates a shift toward better upkeep.
