1984 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1.4L Petrol · A417 TMB

The Alfasud presents a stable and clean roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 26 June 2024 at 31,001 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clear results across the three available MOT entries. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories have been raised against the vehicle in any recorded examination. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 42-year-old car. The record shows 29,803 miles at the 6 September 2022 test, rising only to 29,822 miles by 27 June 2023 and 31,001 miles by 26 June 2024. That equates to roughly 738 miles per year overall, with the largest single-year movement of just 1,179 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. Such low annual accumulation suggests long periods of storage rather than daily driving, though the sparse three-entry history limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related issues the MOT may not capture on a static test. Prolonged standing invites perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and flat-spotted tyres, none of which the clean records dispute or confirm. The AlfASUD's unibody construction demands close checking for structural corrosion around sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on exhaust emissions, steering, or drivetrain, the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The lack of flagged wear items implies either careful dry storage or simply that the tester found nothing requiring note at the low mileages recorded.
