2026 Alpine A290 GTS Plus EV 4.0L Electric · 400 JK

The Alpine A290 GTS Plus EV presents a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by a flawless MOT record spanning its operational life. The most recent test on 2025-10-27 at 22,523 miles passed without a single defect or advisory, mirroring the clean passes recorded in previous years. This consistent absence of flagged issues suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a high standard, keeping wear items and structural components within safe operational limits. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, showing no signs of worsening mechanical degradation or neglect. The mileage accumulation follows a moderate and consistent trajectory, aligning well with the vehicle's age. Between the 2022-05-31 test at 15,064 miles and the 2023-02-14 test at 17,840 miles, the car covered 2,776 miles over roughly eight and a half months. Subsequent tests show steady usage: 1,121 miles accrued by 2024-03-18 at 18,961 miles, followed by 1,305 miles by 2024-10-24 at 20,266 miles. The final recorded jump of 2,257 miles brought the odometer to 22,523 miles by 2025-10-27. There are no alarming gaps indicating prolonged storage or sudden spikes suggesting aggressive driving, pointing instead to routine, everyday use. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of components that rarely trigger immediate MOT failures but suffer from wear. Examine the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate misalignment or suspension bush degradation not yet severe enough to fail a test. Check the brake discs and pads for corrosion, a common issue on EVs where regenerative braking reduces traditional friction usage. Inspect the charging port and underbody for stone chips or ingress that could compromise long-term electrical integrity. The suspension components, including coil springs and dampers, require a thorough check for leaks or deterioration. While the absence of structural rust or corrosion advisories is highly encouraging, a hands-on evaluation ensures the vehicle's physical condition matches its impeccable digital record.
